I am trying to ignore the last name field if it is empty, but I can't figure
out how to do this.
Here is a snipit of my current code, where peopleFound = [AB
recordsMatchingSearchElement:firstAndLast]:
tempString = [[peopleFound objectAtIndex:i]
valueForProperty:kABFirstNameProperty];
temp2String = [tempString stringByAppendingString:@" "];
if([[[peopleFound objectAtIndex:i] valueForProperty:kABLastNameProperty]
isEqualToString:@""])
{
NSLog(@"No last name");
temp3String = tempString;
}
else
temp3String = [temp2String stringByAppendingString:[[peopleFound
objectAtIndex:i] valueForProperty:kABLastNameProperty]];
And this is what I get when run, and it comes across a record with no last
name:
[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil string (or other) argument
I know it is the if statement, as I added some more NSLogs and found that
getting the valueForProperty that doesn't exist just raises an exception. So
I looked some more at the ABPerson.h file and found:
+ (NSArray *)properties;
// Returns an array of property names
So I thought I could just scan through the returned properties, and if no
last name property was returned, I can go from there. However, when this
code is run:
NSLog([[[peopleFound objectAtIndex:i] properties] count]);
Just to get the number of properties found, I get:
*** -[ABPerson properties]: selector not recognized
Anyone have some thoughts? All I am trying to do is list all the names in
the address book in a popup menu. But I have run into issues with this
no-last name thing.
Thanks,
Ben
