iOS c++ file handling

[aerlfredith]

Hi,

I'm trying to load files from a directory in my appbundle in iOS the simulator does this fine but the std::ifstream doesnt open on the iPad i use for testing.
Is this an issue with file access privileges or do i have to do something different,

	std::ifstream is;

	is.open(fileString.c_str(), std::ios::binary);
	if (!is.is_open())
        {
               printf("FAIL");
        }

Thanks, Jan

I do the following for my C++ game code -

[[NSFileManager defaultManager] changeCurrentDirectoryPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];

std::ifstream	ifs("Token Map 1.data", std::ios::binary);
if ( ifs.is_open() )
{
    _thexder.load(ifs);
}

You probably need a full path, not just the file name.

:/

I found out that the iOS simulator is not case-sensitive but the device IS case-sensitive

 

[PhoneyDeveloper]

That's correct. The Sim uses the Mac file system, which is case-insensitive and the device file system is case-sensitive.

That's correct. The Sim uses the Mac file system, which is case-insensitive and the device file system is case-sensitive.

Unless you install your Mac OSX on a case-sensitive HFS+ volume of course

Anyone who does that should be smitten. ;-)

And if OP did that we wouldn't be having this conversation.
