How to delete files with a filename that contains specific string in Documents folder

[tobs]

Hi,

Is it possible to delete files that contains a particular string in their name in the Documents folder?

Example:
In the Documents folder, there are
item1.png
item2.png
item3.png
dog.png
cat.png

I would like to delete only the files that contain the "item" word. So in the example above, i want to delete form the Documents folder the item1.png, item2.png, and item3.png files.

Is this possible? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

NSFileManager* fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
  
  // get all files in the temp folder
  NSArray* files = [fileManager   contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:NSTemporaryDirectory() error:nil];
  
  // check if it contains my string
  for (int i=0; i<[files count]; i++)
  {
    NSString* fileName = [files objectAtIndex:i];
    if ([fileName rangeOfString:@"StringToSearch"].location != NSNotFound)
      [fileManager removeItemAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", NSTemporaryDirectory(), fileName] error:nil];
  }
