macOS How to get Current working Directory?

[trey5498]

How do I get the current working directory of the application? in the command or shell line it is "./test.txt" However setting that to a path doesnt seem to work.

I have seen:

GetCurrentDirectory, but I can't seem to track that one down either. Any ideas?

Too vague.

Are you looking for a C function?

On most unix systems you can get the environment variable PWD with getenv. This may also work, but I am not familiar with how it behaves:

NSString *myPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];

You can use getcwd from the standard C library. Do a man on it for usage.

getcwd()

 

[trey5498]

NSString *myPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];

got the path in one line where getcwd wanted to do it in like 3 and I kept getting errors. I am trying to do it in as much cocoa as I can.

Can't you use

NSString *curDir = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] currentDirectoryPath];

? Or is that not the same thing?

This is probably better, I hadn't tried the call I suggested, just read it elsewhere.
