This is a code provide by apple…in loading filepath of type jpg from the resource direcoty into an Array.

NSArray *imageBundlePathArray = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathsForResourcesOfType:@”jpg” inDirectory:nil];

With this solution, it is inflexible as the files need to be added into the resource directory before compiling in Xcode.

What i require is able to load file path of type jpg from a folder at run-time. Any ideas?

Off the top of my head:

NSString *dirPath = // path to directory NSArray *dirFiles = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryContentsAtPath:dirPath]; int i; for (i=0; i<[dirFiles count]; i++) { NSString *dirFile = [dirFiles objectAtIndex:i]; if ([[dirFile pathExtension] isEqualToString:@”jpg”]) { // process file } }

Thanks but I stil have problems.

NSString dirPath = @”images/”; NSArray *dirFiles = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryContentsAtPath:dirPath];

Basically i need dirFiles Array to include the relative path as well as the file name. For example.
Index 1 contain “image/image1.jpg” Index 2 contain ‘image/image2.jpg”

any ideas?

Read the name of every function on http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html . That will answer your question and many future questions.

specifically, you’re looking for [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000154/stringByStandardizingPath]

er, -[NSString stringsByAppendingPaths:] actually. Standardizing “image1.jpg” is not going to yield “image/image1.jpg”.
