Iterate through files in a folder and its subfolders using Swift's FileManager
Use the nextObject()
method of enumerator
:
while let element = enumerator?.nextObject() as? String { if element.hasSuffix("ext") { // checks the extension }}
Nowadays (early 2017) it's highly recommended to use the – more versatile – URL related API
let fileManager = FileManager.defaultdo { let resourceKeys : [URLResourceKey] = [.creationDateKey, .isDirectoryKey] let documentsURL = try fileManager.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false) let enumerator = FileManager.default.enumerator(at: documentsURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: resourceKeys, options: [.skipsHiddenFiles], errorHandler: { (url, error) -> Bool in print("directoryEnumerator error at \(url): ", error) return true })! for case let fileURL as URL in enumerator { let resourceValues = try fileURL.resourceValues(forKeys: Set(resourceKeys)) print(fileURL.path, resourceValues.creationDate!, resourceValues.isDirectory!) }} catch { print(error)}
I couldn't get pNre's solution to work at all; the while loop just never received anything. However, I did come across this solution which works for me (in Xcode 6 beta 6, so perhaps things have changed since pNre posted the above answer?):
for url in enumerator!.allObjects { print("\((url as! NSURL).path!)")}
