How to treat the TextView in Mac OS X?

Although I would like to preserve the contents in a TextView, and the portion of reading not to iOS but to Mac O SX, I do not go well.

What should be done with the expression:

NSString *string = myTextView.text;

...used when treating the TextView of the instance name of myTextView in Mac OS X?

Since I received indication as explanation was lacking, I add a sentence. I would like to make this code into MacOSX. I treat NSTextView. 

- (void)saveFile
{
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"memo.txt"];
    NSString *string =myTextView.text;
    [string writeToFile:path
             atomically:YES 
               encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding 
                  error:NULL];    
}
- (void)loadFile
{
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"memo.txt"];
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path]) {
        NSString *string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path
                                                     encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding 
                                                        error:NULL];
        myTextView.text = string;
    }   
}

I think I might actually know what your talking about.

I'm assuming you have an OSX app with an NSTextField named myTextView. You are trying do do the Mac equivalent of myTextView.text. If so you want to do:

NSString *string = myTextView.stringValue;

Response to question edit:

As one might guess to set the value of the textfield you would do the inverse:

myTextView.stringValue = string;
