You could use -directoryContentsAtPath: and check the array yourself for matches.

Hello, I'm new to cocoa so any help will be appreciated.
I'm needing my application to find out if ImageMagick is installed. It is usually installed in the root directory(/) and it has the name of ImageMagick-6.3.8. I want it to detect it even if the version is 6.3.9. That way if there are any updates with ImageMagick I wont have to update my program for the new one. The only way I can think of doing it is with fileExistsAtPath but I can't find out how to have a random indicator or whatever it is called. I tried BOOL ImageMagick = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:@"/ImageMagick*/" isDirectory:YES];
But it does not seem to know * as a random indicator like PHP and Terminal does. I can't seem to think of a way to do this so, if any one can help me figure this out I would be very grateful.


Thanks,
Mr. Gecko
