Question

I have some files saved in my NSDocumentsDirectory, how do i get the names of those files and then display those names in a uitableview?

I just want to retrieve the name of the objects as NSString, I am able to retrieve the files as objects but not their names.

Here is the code for it:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSError * error;
objectsAtPathArray =  (NSMutableArray*)[[NSFileManager defaultManager]
                      contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:&error];
[objectsAtPathArray removeObjectAtIndex:0];

Last line is to remove the .DS_Store file

Answer 1

adding a (for in) loop did the trick for me,

for (NSString *fileName in self.objectsAtPathArray){

   cell.textLabel.text = fileName;
}
