Get list of files at path swift

Question

Just trying to make a for..in loop for files in the local app folder

let filemanager:NSFileManager = NSFileManager()
let files = filemanager.enumeratorAtPath(NSHomeDirectory())
for filename in files!
{
    println(filename)
}

But it says Type 'NSDirectoryEnumerator' doesn't conform to protocol SequenceType.

I think this may be possible by implementing an extension to NSFileManager that implements the SequenceType protocol. But you could easily convert your code to using a while loop:

let filemanager:FileManager = FileManager()
let files = filemanager.enumerator(atPath: NSHomeDirectory())
while let file = files?.nextObject() {
    print(file)
}

Regarding implementing SequenceType to do this using your for loop, there is a good example here: http://natashatherobot.com/swift-conform-to-sequence-protocol/ – Clafou Sep 27 '14 at 08:42
