How to open files in a UIWebView?

Question

I just make a file browser for iOS, I just need to know how to open any kind of file in a UIWebview. I think the webview can open any kind of file, that's because I chose to use a UIWebView to view the files directly in the app. Now my question.

How to programmatically switch to a UIViewController in the same UIStoryBoard and display the file? The file URL is stored in a string called path .

This is how fare I am, I just need to add the file viewer.

Can someone help me?

-(void) displayFile:(NSString*)fileName
{
  NSError *error = nil;
  NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,   NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]; 
  TO get the filename
  NSString *folderPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];  

  if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:folderPath])  //Optionally check if   folder already hasn't existed.
  {
   // do something
  }
} 

Hope this helps you...
