I'm using the following snippet of code to attempt to copy a file from my application resources directory into the Documents area. I have used the below from the PocketOCR project on Github :
// Set up the tessdata path. This is included in the application bundle
// but is copied to the Documents directory on the first run.
NSString *dataPath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSLog(@"Datapath is %@", dataPath);
// If the expected store doesn't exist, copy the default store.
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath ]) {
NSLog(@"File didn't exist at datapath...");
// get the path to the app bundle (with the tessdata dir)
NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *tessdataPath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"];
if (tessdataPath) {
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:tessdataPath toPath:dataPath error:NULL];
}
}
This is the output I get from invoking the above :
2012-06-06 14:53:42.607 MyApp[1072:707] Datapath is /var/mobile/Applications/9676D920-D6D1-4F86-9177-07CC3247A124/Documents/tessdata Error opening data file /var/mobile/Applications/9676D920-D6D1-4F86-9177-07CC3247A124/Documents/tessdata/eng.traineddata
I have the eng.traineddata file located in my xcode project like so
It appears that the Error is being reported when attempting to check if fileExistsAtPath
, I wouldn't expect this to throw an error, but to either return YES or NO.
Is there an easier way to copy the eng.traineddata
file across, or have I made a mistake which can be corrected here?
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSString *dataPath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"];
NSLog(@"Datapath is %@", dataPath);
// If the expected store doesn't exist, copy the default store.
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath] == NO)
{
NSString *tessdataPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"eng" ofType:@"traineddata"];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:tessdataPath toPath:dataPath error:&error];
}
-(NSString*) applicationDocumentsDirectory{
// Get the documents directory
NSArray *dirPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docsDir = [dirPaths objectAtIndex:0];
return docsDir;
}
