Question

Is there a quick way to spit out a directory listing for a specific folder in NSHomeDirectory? I’m playing with an example in ASIHTTPRequest that downloads an image via:

[request setDownloadDestinationPath:[[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"totallyhotmilf.jpg"]];

I’d like to list the files in the Documents folder to see whats actually getting downloaded for debugging purposes. Thanks for the help.

Found an answer to my question thanks to this page. This will give you a nice file listing:

// Create file manager
NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

// Point to Document directory
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];

// Write out the contents of home directory to console
NSLog(@"Documents directory: %@", [fileMgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:&error]);
