How to get the names of the files stored in NSDocumentsDirectory?

I have some files saved in my NSDocumentsDirectory, how do i get the names of those files and then display those names in a uitableview?

I just want to retrieve the name of the objects as NSString, I am able to retrieve the files as objects but not their names.

Here is the code for it:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSError * error;
objectsAtPathArray =  (NSMutableArray*)[[NSFileManager defaultManager]
                      contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:&error];
[objectsAtPathArray removeObjectAtIndex:0];

Last line is to remove the .DS_Store file

This will work correct:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *imageFilenames = [manager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];

for (int i = 0; i < [imageFilenames count]; i++)
    {

    NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",documentsDirectory,[imageFilenames objectAtIndex:i] ];

        if (![[imageFilenames objectAtIndex:i]isEqualToString:@".DS_Store"])
        {
          UIImage *myimage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imageName];
          UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:_myimage];
        }
    }

adding a (for in) loop did the trick for me,

for (NSString *fileName in self.objectsAtPathArray){

   cell.textLabel.text = fileName;
}

try this,

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

    objectsAtPathArray = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil]mutableCopy];

    for(int i = 0; i < [objectsAtPathArray count]; i++)
    {
       if (![[objectsAtPathArray objectAtIndex:i]isEqualToString:@".DS_Store"])
       {
         [NewArray addObject:[objectsAtPathArray objectAtIndex:i]];
          NSLog(@"NewArray=%@",[NewArray objectAtIndex:i]);
       }
     }
