Working with paths from [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]

Question

I'm sure it's a very basic problem, but I'm having trouble finding anything about it.

Say I've got my app in a folder, in some more folders, like this:

• MainFolder > SecondaryFolder > AppBundle.app > all the stuff

Then, what I want to do is access a file that is in the "MainFolder". I know I can get the path of the AppBundle by using:

NSLog(@"%@",[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]);

What I'm uncertain about is how to get the path of the "MainFolder".

Any pointers would be great!

Thanks, Tom

Answer 1

I'd use -[NSString stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] twice.

NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
NSString *secondParentPath = [[bundlePath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent];

Answer 2

I use: NSString *mainBundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
