let home = FileManager.default.homeDirectoryForCurrentUser let playgroundPath = "Documents/dev/xcode/DatePicker/c" // get your playground URL let playgroundURL = home.appendingPathComponent(playgroundPath) // First create a FileManager instance let fileManager = FileManager.default // if file is not exist create the file let newFile = playgroundURL.appendingPathComponent("test.txt").path if(!fileManager.fileExists(atPath:newFile)){ fileManager.createFile(atPath: newFile, contents: nil, attributes: nil) }else{ print("File is already created") }
