Swift problem with percent encoding for local file URL (macOS)-CodePudding

I have the following issue with a whitespace in a local file path: when setting the file name in an unescaped string, everything works perfectly:

var path = "/absolute Path/testfile.txt"
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
if let returnstring = try? String(contentsOf: url, encoding: .utf8) {
   return returnstring
} else {
    return "could not open"
}

However, if I get the filename from

fileManager.contentsOfDirectory(at: url, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil)

The whitespace is escaped with percent encoding

file:///absolute Path/testfile.txt```and the file is not opened anymore.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

CodePudding user response：

The issue there is that you are getting your fileURL path using the URL absoluteString property which contains a scheme and also percent encode to your string. What you need is to get the url path property which does NOT contain a scheme and does NOT percent encode your fileURL path.
