Hi,
The structure that I have written in the code is the C equivalent of the data structure I am expecting to get from the function call in Objective C.
I understand that NSArray will contain an array of certain 'Objects'. I expect those objects to contain data similar to the C structure I mentioned in my code. But I the data seems to be offsetted. Now I have to access these objects from NSArray, and extract 2 'unsigned long' values per Object. I do *not* want to convert the objects into a 'struct'.
As was mentioned in the previous post, there exists an offset that I will have to adjust. I am not able to figure out the offset, otherwise I could have converted the Objects into an interface containing the 2 'unsigned long' variables.
The reason of the problem is that the NSArray is being returned through an interface that is opaque to me, and I don't know how to convert the NSArray elements back into some legible form.
Kindly look into the matter.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Well first of all, NSArrays cannot contain standard types, they can
only contain Objective-C objects, so assuming your NSArray holds
NSNumbers, you would have to access each NSArray object in a loop and
get that NSNumber, and then your unsigned long from that.
