Checking whether a file exists
April 28th, 2009
To check whether a file exists is very simple in Objective C, simply create an NSFileManager object, then feed the NSString of the file directory to the fileExistsAtPath method in the NSFileManager object.
NSString* myFileTxt = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myFile" ofType:@"txt"]; NSFileManager* fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; if(![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:myFileTxt]) { // file doesn't exist }
I was just now googling around about this when I came by your post. I’m only dropping by to say that I truly enjoyed reading this post, it’s really well written. Are you planning toblog more on this? It seems like there is more fodder here for future posts.
