Ask Question

Checking NSString path is a Directory or File in iOS.

Anonymous User 1790 04 Jan 2016

In our iPhone application I have a nsstring which can be a path of any location or file.

Now, I want to check that string(path) is locating a file or folder/director.

Is this possible in Cocoa to check the string path for file or directory, then please provide me the code or tell me the method.
Thank you.

For checking existence of file or directory you can use NSFileManager:
[[NSFileManager defaultManager]fileExistsAtPath:path_name isDirectory:&directoryFlag];
Here we are providing complete example:

NSString *dirPath = @"/Album/";
BOOL check;
NSDirectoryEnumerator *enum = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:dirPath];
while((dirPath = [enum nextObject])){
   [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dirPath isDirectory:&check];
   if(check){
      NSLog(@"Directory Path: %@", dirPath);
   }
}
