this is a little hard to explain, I want to be able to read from some files which I have on my computer in an iOS app. I am storing the files in the same directory as my 'ViewController.swift' file.
My question is, if I want to read from the file "testData.csv", how should I go about referencing it in my app?
Try this:
let file = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("testData", ofType: "cvs") var contents = String(contentsOfFile: path!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)! 
let bundlePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("testdata", ofType: "csv") var textContent = String(contentsOfFile: path!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)! println(textContent) To make the code generic and reusable, You can define a function which accepts your file name as well file type.
Happy coding.
Get file URL
let fileUrl = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("testData", withExtension: "csv") Then you can parse the file using this swift lib https://github.com/naoty/SwiftCSV
