Hi,







Thanx in advance

I want to display in a tableview, list of all media files (audio, video files) present in a certain directory. Currently what i am doing is that i am getting the file names in an NSMutableArray using NSFileManager function directoryContentsAtPath I get the list, but the problem is that it get all the files. I want only those files that have a certain extension (for example mp4, mp3). How can i do that.

Hi!

Would -[NSArray pathsMatchingExtensions:] work for you, when used with the directory contents array?

pathsMatchingExtensions:


- (NSArray *)pathsMatchingExtensions:(NSArray *)filterTypes

Parameters

The extensions should not include the dot (“.”) character. An array containing all the pathname elements in the receiver that have filename extensions from the filterTypes array.

Cheers,
