NSBundle pathForResource: returns nil
file-io, ios, nsstring, objective-c
Solution
`filePath` already contains the suffix ".txt", therefore you must not specify it again when locating the resource. Either
NSString* filePath = @"filename.txt";
NSString* fileRoot = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:filePath ofType:nil];
or
NSString* filePath = @"filename";
NSString* fileRoot = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:filePath ofType:@"txt"];
Problem
I am attempting to access a .txt file from my supporting files folder in Xcode on iOS using the following piece of code: ``` NSString* filePath = @"filename.txt"; NSLog(@"File path: %@", filePath); NSString* fileRoot = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:filePath ofType:@"txt"]; NSLog(@"File root: %@", fileRoot); ``` The first NSLog prints just what I expect it to print, but the last NSLog always simply prints File root: (null) Accessing text from the file after (attempting to) reading it into memory also simply gives me a (null) printout. The solution for this problem is probably right under my nose, I just can't seem to find it. Any help is very appreciated! Thanks in advance.
