I can check if one file exists with this method:
let fileNameOne = "savedpicture1"
let fileURLOne = documentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(fileNameOne)
if !FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: fileURLOne.path) {
removeImage(itemName: "savedpicture1", fileExtension: "jpg")
} else {
print("There was no image to remove")
}
My problem is having to repeat the same lines of code for multiple files. For instance, I would like to check if the files exist in an array of paths, but I would have to repeat the code from above for each file, and it seems too redundant. I'm wondering if there's a way to check multiple files instead of repeating the code for each single path. ".fileExists" only enables me to check one path:
let filePaths = [fileURLOne.path, fileURLTwo.path, fileURLThree.path,
fileURLFour.path]
Write a method for example
func checkFiles(with fileNames: [String] {
for fileName in fileNames {
let fileURL = documentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(fileName)
if !FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: fileURL.path) {
removeImage(itemName: fileName, fileExtension: "jpg")
} else {
print("There was no image to remove at", fileURL)
}
}
}
and call it
let fileNames = ["savedpicture1", "savedpicture2", "savedpicture3", "savedpicture4"]
checkFiles(with: fileNames)
