Works for me. My suspicion is that you aren't properly creating your
NSString in the first place.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
if (argc != 2) {
NSLog( @"usage: <file/directory path>" );
[pool drain];
return 1;
}
NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithCString:argv[ 1 ]
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog( @"filePath = %@", filePath );
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSLog( @"fileURL = %@", [fileURL absoluteURL] );
FSRef fileFSRef;
if (CFURLGetFSRef( (CFURLRef)fileURL, &fileFSRef )) {
NSLog( @"Created FSRef!" );
} else {
NSLog( @"Failed to create FSRef." );
}
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
