Hi,

I have an array with 4 items that I put into a table. One of my items is a path (/Volumes/OSX/Folder/Folder-4532, no files in folder). What I want to do is verify that the folder exists so I can then disable the row if it does not exist.

I've looked at NSFileManager but I cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone explain to me how this works? Any help is appreciated..

BOOL isDir;
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

if ([manager fileExistsAtPath:myPath isDirectory:&isDir] && isDir) {

//folder exists

} else {

//folder doesn't exist (path may exist, but it's not a folder)
}

What happens here is that the isDirectory: argument sets the value of isDir, and the second part of the if statement tests to see if it's YES or NO.

Hope this helps
-Jeremy
