Question

I’ve seen this question asked a few times but I have been unable thus far to achieve success using any of the post solutions. What I am trying to do is rename a file in the local storage of an app (also kind of new to Obj-c). I am able to retrieve the old path and create the new path, but what would I have to write in order to actually change the files name?

What I have thus far is:

- (void) setPDFName:(NSString*)name{
    NSArray *dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                   NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString* initPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",[dirPaths objectAtIndex:0], @"newPDF.pdf"];
    NSString *newPath = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",
                          [initPath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent], name]
                         stringByAppendingPathExtension:[initPath pathExtension]];
}

Answer 1

NSError *error = nil;
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtPath:initPath toPath:newPath error:&error];
