My first smart-alec reaction is to say "taking it apart and putting it back together", but seriously, that isn't a good idea. URLs aren't Unix file paths. If you've got a valid NSURL, why not keep it around and use it later? Which raises the question - how are you using it to write a file? If it's NSFileManager methods, the original NSURL is all you need; if lower-level or methods that only have NSString versions, use [NSURL path]. If you do need to split the path up, it would help to know why. lastPathComponent, pathExtension, and URLBy[Appending/Deleting]PathComponent should cover most of what you need to do with file paths. The last time I cared about pathComponents wasn't for file IO, it was for a "Recent Items" -style name disambiguator - you know, how it'll show just the lastPathComponent until there are two that match, and then it finds the first non-matching component. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
