Question

I can think of ways to do this with taking the array:

NSArray *doc_contents = [fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];

and doing string parsing to find the extension, but that seems like a roundabout way of doing this. Is there a cut and dry way to count the number of .jpg files in my iPhone app documents directory?

Thanks.

EDIT Solved here: Creating an array from documentsDirectory includes ends with .MOV

Answer 1

Both of these links are great resources for this problem.

This one deals with the situation when you have multiple file extensions you are looking for:
NSPredicate endswith multiple files

This one is focused on just one extension:
Creating an array from documentsDirectory includes ends with .MOV

Both methods use the NSPredicate class.
