You can use moveItemAtPath. NSError * err = NULL; NSFileManager * fm = [[NSFileManager alloc] init]; BOOL result = [fm moveItemAtPath:@”/tmp/test.tt” toPath:@”/tmp/dstpath.tt” error:&err]; if(!result) NSLog(@”Error: %@”, err); [fm release];
Please think the other way round. URL is the recommended way to handle file paths because it contains all convenience methods for appending and deleting path components and extensions – rather than String which Apple has removed those methods from. You are discouraged from concatenating paths like path = path + name. It’s error-prone because … Read more
This code actually returns the good creation date to me: NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSDictionary* attrs = [fm attributesOfItemAtPath:path error:nil]; if (attrs != nil) { NSDate *date = (NSDate*)[attrs objectForKey: NSFileCreationDate]; NSLog(@”Date Created: %@”, [date description]); } else { NSLog(@”Not found”); } Are you creating the file inside the App? Maybe that’s where the … Read more
The simplest way is to save it in the app’s Documents directory and save the path with NSUserDefaults like so: NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage); NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *imagePath =[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@”%@.png”,@”cached”]]; NSLog(@”pre writing to file”); if (![imageData writeToFile:imagePath atomically:NO]) { NSLog(@”Failed to cache image data to … Read more
Set and hit a breakpoint in the app, and write the following in the Xcode Console (next to the Variables View): po NSHomeDirectory() Then in Finder hit Shift+CMD+G, paste the path returned above without the quotation marks and hit enter.
I assume your url is an URL type. If so try this out: let filePath = url?.path // always try to work with URL when accessing Files if(FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath!)){ // just use String when you have to check for existence of your file let result = NSData(contentsOf: url!) // use URL instead of String } … Read more
You can actually skip the if, even though Apple’s docs say that the directory must not exist, that is only true if you are passing withIntermediateDirectories:NO That puts it down to one call. The next step is to capture any errors: NSError * error = nil; [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:bundlePath withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:&error]; if (error != … Read more
(The code in this answer has been updated for Swift 3 and later.) Apparently your path variable is a NSURL (describing a file path). To get the path as a string, use the path property, not absoluteString: let exists = FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: path.path) absoluteString returns the URL in a string format, including the file: scheme etc. … Read more
In case anyone needs this for the latest Swift / Xcode versions: here is an example to remove all files from the temp folder: Swift 2.x: func clearTempFolder() { let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager() let tempFolderPath = NSTemporaryDirectory() do { let filePaths = try fileManager.contentsOfDirectoryAtPath(tempFolderPath) for filePath in filePaths { try fileManager.removeItemAtPath(tempFolderPath + filePath) } } … Read more
If you can’t/don’t want to keep the file contents in memory but want an atomic rewrite as noted in the other suggestions, you can first copy the original file to a temp directory to a unique path (Apple’s documentation suggests using a temporary directory), then use NSFileManager’s -replaceItemAtURL:withItemAtURL:backupItemName:options:resultingItemURL:error: According to the reference documentation, this method … Read more
