Determine if a path within an NSString is to a directory, or a file?

Question

I have an NSString containing a path, but it could be either a file, or a directory.

Is there an equivalent to the Python os.path.isdir() and os.path.isfile() methods in Cocoa?

Answer 1

See the NSFileManager Class Reference

[[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:pathname 
                                isDirectory:&directoryFlag];

For example:

NSString *file = @"/tmp/";
BOOL isDir = NO;
if([[NSFileManager defaultManager]
     fileExistsAtPath:file isDirectory:&isDir] && isDir){
    NSLog(@"Is directory");
}

Answer 2

if the solution from htw doesn't work, try this:

NSString *file = @"/tmp/";
BOOL isDir
NSDirectoryEnumerator *dirEnum = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:file];
while ((file = [dirEnum nextObject])) {
   [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:file isDirectory:&isDir];
   if(isDir){
      NSLog(@"%@ is a directory", file);
   }
}
