Hey Everyone,

Ive got a small problem here where I am trying to get the size of file at a path. The problem is when I change the path to a > pointer(?).

NSDictionary *attributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileAttributesAtPath:@"/tmp/somefile" traverseLink:NO];

This works perfectly fine for me however the path to the file is not static so I am trying this with no luck.

NSString *path = [NSString stingWithContentsOfFile:@"/tmp/filewithpathinfo"];
NSDictionary *attributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileAttributesAtPath:path traverseLink:NO];
NSLog(@"%@", path);

I was just using hte NSLog to check if the path was right and it reports the right path to the file like /Volumes/backup/somefile

Any thoughts?

Is it really the code you're using ?

This is the actual code I am using. I am a very novice programmer so please bare with me.

NSString *path = [NSString stingWithContentsOfFile:@"/tmp/filewithpathinfo"];

and not

NSString *path = [NSString stringWithString:@"/tmp/filewithpathinfo"];

In your code, you're putting the content of the file /tmp/filewithpathinfo into your string. Does "/tmp/filewithpathinfo" contain the path of the file?

The content of that file (filewithpathinfo) is the full path to an actual file.
