Count files in directories AND subdirectories? iPhone

I am trying to count entire files in a directory, including subdirectories. This is what I have to count files in the first folder:

-(NSString *)numberOfPhotos
{
    NSString *MyPath = @"/rootdirectory/"; 
    NSArray *directoryContent = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryContentsAtPath:MyPath]; 

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [directoryContent count]];
}

I was thinking maybe something like

for (file in folder){
    [file count]
{

but doesnt seem to work.

UPDATE: Actually, was very easy:

NSDirectoryEnumerator *subs = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:musicPath error:nil];
Solution 
  • NSDirectoryEnumerator *subs = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:musicPath error:nil];
