FileDemo

Use a swift class File to describe an abstract object of a file.

Using

Just copy Wildcard.swift and File.swift to your project.

Example

Create a instance:

let myFile = File(path: "~/")

Get its path or url:

myFile.path
myFile.url

Determine if a file or directory exists:

myFile.isExsits()

Determine whether a file is a directory:

myFile.isDirectory()

Get its child file:

let child = myFile.append(childName: "Music")

List files under a directory:

try child.list()

Get its parent directory's name or path:

myFile.getParentPath()
// or 
myFile.getParentFile().path

myFile.getParentName()
// or
myFile.getParentFile().getName()

Create directories (as same as FileManager.createDirectory):

let dir = File(path: "~/tmpp")
let _ = try dir.createDirectory(withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)

Write into a plist file:

let writeFile = File(path: "~/mTest.plist")
try (["myString":"hello"] as NSDictionary).write(to: writeFile)
// NSArray was also support.

Read from a plist file:

NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: writeFile) // -> NSDictionary?
// NSArray was also support.

Delete a file:

// Example
let tmp = File(path: "~/tmpp/tmp")
let _ = try tmp.createDirectory(withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil) // Create
let tmpp = tmp.getParentFile() // Get ~/tmp
print(tmpp.path)
print(try tmpp.list()) // Prints "["tmp"]".
print("Deleting...")
let _ = try tmpp.delete(childName: "tmp", hasWildcard: false) // Delete it.
print(try tmpp.list()) // Prints "[]".
try tmpp.delete() // Delete ~/tmpp

Move a file:

let ttmpp = ttmp.append(childName: "child")
let _ = try ttmpp.createDirectory(withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil) // Create a destiny directory for moving.
try dictPlist.move(toDir: ttmpp) // Start moving.

Rename a file:

let ttmp = File(path: "~/ttmp")
let _ = try ttmp.createDirectory(withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil) // Create tmp directory.
let dictPlist = ttmp.append(childName: "a.plist")
let dict : NSDictionary = ["aaa" : "vvv"]
try dict.write(to: dictPlist) // Create a test plist file called a.plist.
try dictPlist.rename(to: "b.plist") // Change its name to b.plist
