Hi All, I have a question about efficiency when trying to compare NSURL. The requirement is quite simple. I try and iterate through a directory to all subdirectories and files. While doing this walk-through, I need to check against an array of NSURLs which are restricted files and folders. This means if I find a match of file I am trying to access in the array then I don't do any operations on that file and continue.
Lets say I walkthrough 1000 files and folders, for each file/folder I need to compare against this array list. This might be slow or inefficient. Is there a faster way to do something like this? Secondly, I plan to store array of NSURL for restricted files and folders. What is the best way to get partial compare? Eg: Entry in array : /XYZ/abc This means I should not iterate into the abc folder. So any files /XYZ/abc/1.c or /XYZ/abc/def/2.c should all be skipped. Whats the best way to do partial NSURL compare? Or is it better I store it as NSString instead of NSURL?
