Is it perhaps something to do with the fact that [fileAttributes
objectForKey: NSFileHFSTypeCode] is documented to be a NSNumber
object, so the actual type code would be [[fileAttributes
objectForKey: NSFileHFSTypeCode] intValue]?
Since it's documented as returning an unsigned long, I'd use -
unsignedLongValue or -[NSDictionary fileHFSTypeCode] which returns an
OSType directly.
The OP also asked about converting this to a string, which you can do
with NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode() or UTCreateStringForOSType() if you're
working with UTIs. Doing a Spotlight search for kMDItemContentType ==
public.plain-text might make more sense than iterating directories,
unless you're only looking for files with a type code.
