[NSString pathComponents]
Returns an array of
NSString objects containing, in order, each path component of the receiver.
- (NSArray *)pathComponents
Return Value
An array of
NSString objects containing, in order, each path component of the receiver.Discussion of [NSString pathComponents]
The strings in the array appear in the order they did in the receiver. If the string begins or ends with the path separator, then the first or last component, respectively, will contain the separator. Empty components (caused by consecutive path separators) are deleted.
Example of [NSString pathComponents]
NSString* filePath = // something
NSArray* pathComponents = [filePath pathComponents];
if ([pathComponents count] > 2) {
NSArray* lastTwoArray = [pathComponents subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange([pathComponents count]-2,2)];
NSString* lastTwoPath = [NSString pathWithComponents:lastTwoArray];
}
