Length of a filename


  • Subject: Length of a filename
  • From: "Gerriet M. Denkmann" <email@hidden>

How can I check the appositeness of a filename?

This will not work:
if ( [potentialPath length] > 255 )  ... error: filename too long
because HFS+ uses some decomposed form.

This might work:
if ( [[ NSString stringWithUTF8String: [potentialPath fileSystemRepresentation] ] length] > 255 ) ...
but looks kind of convoluted and inefficient.


There are two methods in NSString:
decomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping
decomposedStringWithCompatibilityMapping
but the documentation does not say which (if any) should be used to convert a potentialPath into a form used in HFS+.


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
