Create A Folder Programmatically In Xcode - Objective C - iphone

Question

I am using the following line of code to save my file of yoyo.txt in the Documents folder ::
NSString *docDir = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"];
NSLog(#"docDir is yoyo :: %#", docDir);
NSString *FilePath = [docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"yoyo.txt"];
However, I wish to save my file in a folder of yoyo i.e. inside the Documents folder i.e. I want to create another folder named as "yoyo" and then save my file of yoyo.txt into it. How can I do that ?? Thanks.

Here is a sample code (assume manager is [NSFileManager defaultManager]):
BOOL isDirectory;
NSString *yoyoDir = [docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"yoyo"];
if (![manager fileExistsAtPath:yoyoDir isDirectory:&isDirectory] || !isDirectory) {
NSError *error = nil;
NSDictionary *attr = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:NSFileProtectionComplete
forKey:NSFileProtectionKey];
[manager createDirectoryAtPath:yoyoDir
withIntermediateDirectories:YES
attributes:attr
error:&error];
if (error)
NSLog(#"Error creating directory path: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}

+(void)createDirForImage :(NSString *)dirName
{
NSString *path;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:dirName];
NSError *error;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path]) //Does directory already exist?
{
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:path
withIntermediateDirectories:NO
attributes:nil
error:&error])
{
NSLog(#"Create directory error: %#", error);
}
}
}

Here dataPath will be the final path for saving your file
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/yoyo"];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath]){
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error]; //Create folder
}
dataPath = [dataPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/yoyo.txt"];
