Xcode Assistance with Coding

[sebbiedesigns]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out how to do an extension for a html file. I'm new to coding and Xcode and trying to create an app but I have enough experience in coding to understand what goes where and why.

The problem I'm facing is that I need to add an extension to a html file; example (index.html?lc=uk) instead of (index.html).

I've created a interface and all the other information required but I can't seem to get this part to work. The coding I'm using on the ViewController.m is;

[super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"354"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webview loadRequest:request];

I've tried adding to the (pathForResource) @"index.html?lc=uk" but when I test the app it doesn't work and gives me an error.

Can someone give me a idea on what I need to do?

Kind Regards,
Seb

Hi Seb,

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do. I assume the file index.html exists in the directory you're looking in. Are you trying to rename the file, or do you just want an NSString with the filename and the query string appended?

Hi superscape,

Sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm new to coding xD.

What I'm trying to add an extension to a index file. So I want to add to the index.html file (?lc=uk) so it should look like this (index.html?lc=uk).

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize webview;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index?lc=uk" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"354"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webview loadRequest:request];
   
}

The error code i'm getting is this;

Not sure if it helps

Don't worry about sounding like a noob! I'm still learning on Obj-C myself. I'm not familiar with NSURLRequest and it's possible that someone smarter than me may weigh in here with a better way of doing this, but here's how I'd do it:

   NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index"ofType:@"html"inDirectory:@"354"];
   NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
  NSString * theURLString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@?foo=bar", url.path];
NSURLRequest * theURLRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURLString]];
  [[_theWebView  mainFrame]loadRequest: theURLRequest];

...assuming _theWebView is a property connected to your WebView.
