Wont save file when textFieldDidEndEditing is called 2nd time

[Urbn]

Hello guys,

I am currently developing for iPad, I am loading a path of the documents directory via a UITableView in a Popover. Via a textField, I want to change the files name. The first time, when i choose the file, the name is changed. But when I want to change the name afterwards again, nothing happens. I need to select the thing again, then enter the name again, and then it works again. :confused:

- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)tf
{
    textLabel.text = textField.text;
    NSString* newName = textLabel.text;
    newName = [newName stringByAppendingPathExtension:@"txt"];
    NSString* newPath = [[currentFilePath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByAppendingPathComponent:newName]; 
    NSLog(@"%@",newPath);
    [[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtPath:currentFilePath toPath:newPath error:nil];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"DataSaved" object:nil];

}

I figured out that I needed to set at the end of the method:

currentFilePath = newPath;

But that actually gave me a EXC_BAD_ACCESS, no Idea why.

I really don't have a clue whats going on there …

Thanks in advance!

It's quite obvious why this gives you an EXC_BAD_ACCESS

currentFilePath = newPath;

You will need to do some research on how memory management works in iOS. I'd specifically do some digging on properties. Basically currentFilePath is not being retained, so the next time you try to use it, you're gonna get the crash.
