Return item count from a plist
<p>Not sure why my .plist looks like this when viwed as source code, and not like an XML file.</p>

<pre><code>{

    authorLastName = Doe;
    authorFirstName = Jane;
    imageFilePath = "NoImage.png";
    title = "Account Test 1";
    year = 2009;
},

{

    authorLastName = Doe;
    authorFirstName = John;
    imageFilePath = "NoImage.png";
    title = "Account Test 2";
    year = 2009;
}
</code></pre>

<p>Is the .plist supposed to look like this when viewed as Source Code?</p>

<p>And second, can anyone give an example of how to reutrn the number of items, say, just the last names in each dictionary? I have researched this for too many hours, and Im pulling my hair out cause I cant move on until I get this correct! Every method I try returns 0. Im really new at iPhone programming, so I would appreciate any help I can get! Maybe a full example with reading the plist too?</p>
