Question

I have this arborescence:

Project Folder
      build
      Project
      ProjectTests
      Pictures

In the sub-folder “Project” I have the AppDelegate and a file called “Alert.txt”. I want to access that text file from my AppDelegate so I tried :

- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
    NSLog(@"test");
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath: @"Alert.txt" ] == YES)
        NSLog(@"good");

}

Of course it prints “test”, but not “good”. What is the correct path ?

Answer 1

To get the path to your file use

NSString * myFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"Alert" ofType:@"txt"];    
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath: myFile ])
    NSLog(@"good");
