I have a daemon process that needs to generate a series of sequenced files (named sequentially, such as "file_01944576_1.dat", "file_01944576_2.dat", etc.) in the same directory. Does Cocoa provide a way to do this?
NSFileManager's -createFileAtPath:contents:attributes: method states: "If a file already exists at path, this method overwrites the contents of that file..." I would hate to do this blindly, such as with fstat() in a loop, because there will potentially be many sequences, and each can grow to an arbitrary number. How do Finder and other OS X agents accomplish this? -Carl _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
