Question

I had a SQL script in a file, added to my Xcode project, and I want get its file path.

When I write the following:

    case 1:
         NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"triggers.sql"];
    break;

I got the following error:

Expected expression

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To declare new variables inside a switch statement you need to create a 'block' for them to exist in:

switch (var){
    case 1:
    {
        NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"triggers.sql"];

        ...

        break;
    }
    ...
}

Try that:

NSString* databasePathFromApp = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"triggers.sql" ofType:nil];
//or
NSString* databasePathFromApp = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"triggers" ofType:@"sql"];
