This has to do with non-printable characters in pathnames. Each
application can different how they visually represent these
characters. The terminal just replaces them with '?', the Finder
might use a space.
When you have a path from NSFileManager, leave it as is in the
NSString if you're going to pass it to other Foundation file manager
APIs. If you need a C string of the path for C APIs, you can use
NSFileManager's fileSystemRepresentationWithPath: to get a properly
encoded C string. Also displayNameAtPath: can give you the proper
representation for displaying the path to the user but may not work
when passed to file system APIs.

I'm facing an issue with NSFileManger directoryContentsAtPath API.
This
seems to be an wried issue. But its very important for me to fix.
Please
help me.
My application is trying to enumerate the folders in inside a Mac
using NSFileManager API. But for some files its failing.
It looks like the file name ( inside bundle ) is interpreted by
Finder and
Terminal in a different ways. Can any one please suggest me a way to
resolve
this issue.
Thanks in Advance

NSFileManager *defaultManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *filePath = [defaultManager directoryContentsAtPath:

int i , count = [filePath count];
for ( i = 0 ; i < count ; i++ ) {
NSLog(@" filepath is (%@)",[filePath objectAtIndex:i]);
}
