I’m building an application for the iphone. I scan the iPod library and bring in all the album art. I need a way of creating a unique string so that when I’m saving the album art to the documents directory, each file has a unique name. Does anyone know to create a unique string? Thanks in advance.
You want to be creating a GUID or UUID, which is a 128-bit integer that has a string associated with it. Check out http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFUUIDRef/Reference/reference.html
