While messing around with the file searching problem just posted by Budgie, I wrote the following program to do a deep search for specific files. If I comment out the “log fullPath” line, I get the following in the console:
property parent : class "NSObject"
property theFolder : POSIX path of (path to documents folder as string)
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
set theEnumerator to current application's NSFileManager's defaultManager()'s enumeratorAtPath_(theFolder)
set nameArray to current application's NSMutableArray's alloc()'s init()
repeat
set fullPath to theEnumerator's nextObject()
--log fullPath
if fullPath is missing value then exit repeat
set ext to fullPath's pathExtension()
set theName to fullPath's stringByDeletingPathExtension()'s lastPathComponent()
if (ext's isEqualToString_("plist") as integer is 1) and (theName's hasPrefix_("July") as integer is 1) then
nameArray's addObject_(theName)
end if
end repeat
log nameArray
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_
About 16 blinds up from the bottom, I see the results I was expecting, but then the app crashes.
However, if I uncomment out the “log fullPath” line, the program runs normally.
To further complicate things, sometimes I get a shorter list of errors (of the same type I see above) with no results and a crash (with the log statement commented out).
Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug?
I have no idea what ARC is, so I hope I’m not using it. I had garbage collection on when i was using SL, now I’m on Lion but still using Xcode 3 (I don’t remember where to check that it’s on)
Garbage collection is set to Required [-fobjc-gc-only]
One thing I forgot to mention is that if I search in “/Users/rdelmar/Documents/Weather/” (which is where the files are that I’m testing for), it works fine without the log statement. It’s when I start the search at “/Users/rdelmar/Documents/” that I get all the errors.
