iOS How to know the file Type in Iphone Directory

[RashiMahajan]

HI,
In my programm
I am viewing all the files present at a location, Now i want to know the type of the file,that wether its a .png file,.jpg file,.doc or it is a folder? so that i will display a appropriate thumbnail next to it.
Is there any way to know that whether its a file/folder or which type of file in objective C.

Look at the NSFileManager documentation, particularly the fileAttributesAtPath method.

No file extension info

But its display "NSFileTypeDirectory" or either "NSFileTypeRegular" as file type . It display NSFileTypeRegular for all jpg/png/doc/pdf file No way to knw the extension of the files ?

You can read the files at the documents folder store it in some array
and then using string separator you can separate the file name and the extension.

They have not provided any API in the NSFileManager documentation at least.
