IOS: copy a file in documents folder
Copies txtFile
from resource to document if not already present.
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];NSError *error;NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];NSString *txtPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"txtFile.txt"];if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:txtPath] == NO) { NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"txtFile" ofType:@"txt"]; [fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourcePath toPath:txtPath error:&error];}
If you want to overwrite every time then try this:
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:txtPath] == YES) { [fileManager removeItemAtPath:txtPath error:&error];}NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"txtFile" ofType:@"txt"];[fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourcePath toPath:txtPath error:&error];
Swift 3
code for file is exist or not, if not then copy.
func CheckFileisExistOrNot(strPath:String) { let filemgr = FileManager.default if !filemgr.fileExists(atPath: strPath) { let resorcePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "\(Global.g_databaseName)", ofType: ".db") do { try filemgr.copyItem(atPath: resorcePath!, toPath: strPath) }catch{ print("Error for file write") } }}
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];NSError *error;NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);NSString *documentsDirectory = [[paths objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingString:@"csvfile"];NSString *txtPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"sample.csv"];if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:txtPath] == NO) { NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sample" ofType:@".csv"]; [fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourcePath toPath:txtPath error:&error];
