OK, let me explain…

I have an NSString and a path stored in it, like this (as weird as it may look) :

/A/B/C/../D/../E/F

which is practically the same as :

/A/B/E/F

What I want is to convert the first path format (with the ..s in it) the the second format.

Is there any built-in Cocoa function for something like that?

Any ideas?

    Just found it! 🙂

    -(NSString *)stringByStandardizingPath;
    

    Returns a new string made by removing extraneous path components from
    the receiver.

    NSString class reference.
