file: The path to a file containing a string representation of an array produced by the writeToFile method.

Returns an array containing the contents of the file specified by aPath. Returns nil if the file can't be opened or if the contents of the file can't be parsed into an array.

The array representation in the file identified by aPath must contain only property list objects (NSString/CFString, NSData/CFData, NSArray/CFArray, or NSDictionary/CFDictionary objects).

Returns nil on any error.

CFArrayMBS.arrayWithContentsOfURL(URL as string) as CFArrayMBS

URL: The location of a file containing a string representation of an array produced by the writeToURL method.

Returns an array containing the contents specified by aURL. Returns nil if the location can't be opened or if the contents of the location can't be parsed into an array.

The array representation at the location identified by aURL must contain only property list objects (NSString/CFString, NSData/CFData, NSArray/CFArray, or NSDictionary/CFDictionary objects).

Returns nil on any error.
