Count the number of XML files in your project

Question

Is it possible to get a count of XML files added to a Xcode project?

Clarify what "external XML files added to the resources of the project" means, and if possible give an example of such a XML file and how it ended up in your project. Further if possible give the REASON for asking this question. — freespace, Mar 19 '12 at 05:48

In your project directory, execute the following command in the console:

find . -iname '*.xml' | wc -l

This assumes that the xml files were copied to the project directory when they were added. If not, then actual parsing of the project file is required.

Hi I am pretty new to ios development, guess this is not new for many but for those who might need help,here is how i solved it-

NSString *bundleRoot = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *dirContents = [fm contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:bundleRoot error:nil];
NSPredicate *fltr = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"self ENDSWITH '.xml'"];
NSArray *onlyXMLs = [dirContents filteredArrayUsingPredicate:fltr];
NSLog(@"%d is the count",[onlyXMLs count]);

i found the solution from this link - Getting a list of files in a directory with a glob
