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+.
OSStatus FSGetHFSUniStrFromString(CFStringRef str, HFSUniStr255
*uniStr);
Looks promising, but does not work - it does not decompose the filename:
NSString *f1 = [ NSString stringWithUTF8String: "bête" ];
HFSUniStr255 uniStr;
FSGetHFSUniStrFromString( (CFStringRef)f1, &uniStr);
NSLog(@"HFSUniStr length %hu", uniStr.length); // this is the
original length, NOT the decomposed lenght
Returns 4 - but the decomposed length is 5.
But your advice (and of Michael Ash) not to preflight a filename is
probably correct.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
