NSLog(absolutePath);

Others have replied w/an answer, but I wanted to pose a question...

What would happen if absolutePath just so happened to contain a %@ or %s in it somewhere?

Bad things, for sure.

The point of this is to encourage folks to consider a parameter not for the value you think it contains, but for the value it might contain...

Focusing on the former and not the latter is a great boon to those that exploit security holes. :)
