Question

I am trying to find out if a document exists by running

    NSString *DocumentPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *theFile = [[DocumentPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:FileName] retain];
    NSLog(@"File : %@",theFile);
    NSLog(@"FileName : %@", FileName);
    BOOL fileExists = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:theFile];
    NSLog(@"FileExists : %@", fileExists);

I know that the document is there, but I want to run this to find out and if say its been deleted are something then do something else. But all I get as my NSLog is

 FileExists : (null)

I have looked at some tutorials and they say this is right. I’m I missing something?

This code work for me. saving file in Resources->file.txt

 NSString *myFilePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/file.txt"];
 NSLog(@"FileExist %d",[[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:myFilePath]);
