Thanks for all the input. I am doing x-platform development and we like to keep mainline code identical so I implemented functions _findfirst and _findnext using NSFileManager ... it work s pretty cool as follows:
intptr_t _findfirst(CString search, _finddata_t *data) { intptr_t rtx = 0; _breakdown(search); if([results count]) { const char* name = [[results objectAtIndex:0] cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; strcpy(data->name,name); rtx = 1; } return rtx; } int _findnext(intptr_t& next, _finddata_t *data) { int rtx = 0; if(next < [results count]) { const char* name = [[results objectAtIndex:next] cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; strcpy(data->name,name); next++; } else rtx = 1; return rtx; } void _breakdown(CString search) { nssearch = [NSString stringWithCString:(const char*)search encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; path = [nssearch stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]; fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; directoryContents = [fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:path error:&error]; lastPathComponent = [nssearch lastPathComponent]; predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF like [c] %@", lastPathComponent]; results = [directoryContents filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate]; } On Oct 5, 2011, at 3:13 PM, Lee Ann Rucker wrote: > [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:aPath error:NULL] > pathsMatchingExtensions:anArrayOfExtensions] > > On Oct 5, 2011, at 2:07 PM, Kyle Sluder wrote: > >> On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 1:31 PM, koko <k...@highrolls.net> wrote: >>> Is there a best way to get thins done with NSFileManager? >> >> NSFileManager has no concept of file extension patterns like Windows >> does.
