Executing shell script FILE with NSTask - Objective-C

Question

i've got a file "Script.sh", which includes different shell commands, like some defaults write or creating folders, moving files etc. For Example:

#!/bin/sh
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE
killall Finder

However, im pretty new to Objective C and didnt find any solution to run the whole file with NSTask. I only found some solutions with directly coding it into Objective C.

Is it even possible?

Got it working. Just set the path of a Shell script as the argument of NSTask and launch it.

NSURL *myscript =[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"script" withExtension:@"sh"]; 


NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
task.launchPath = @"/bin/sh";

task.arguments =@[myscript.path];
[task launch];
[task waitUntilExit];
