An apparent equality is not...


  • Subject: An apparent equality is not...

Below are two methods that I am currently working on. The first method, (personalInformationFor:) calls the second method (valueForProperty:givenLabel:). The purpose of these methods is to extract information from a supplied ABRecord. The valueForProperty:givenLabel: method SHOULD return the value for the ABMultiValue that matches the supplied label or an empty string if there is no match.

The problem that I am encountering is that even though the suppled label (label) appears to be matching (currentLabel) the match is never registered (i.e.: "return [multiValue valueAtIndex: x]" never gets called.) In the debugger, the summaries appear to be identical. Doing a "print-object" in the console shows the contents are the same and both are of the same class. What I have noticed, however, is that the value column in the debugger shows two different values. How is that possble? And, what do I need to change to make this work?


+(NSDictionary *)personalInformationFor: (ABRecord *)record {
int x, count;
ABMultiValue *multiValue;
NSMutableDictionary *personalInfo;
NSArray *multiValueProperties, *multiValueLabels, *keys;

multiValueProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: kABPhoneProperty, kABPhoneProperty,
kABEmailProperty, nil];
multiValueLabels = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: kABPhoneWorkLabel, kABPhoneWorkFAXLabel,
kABEmailWorkLabel, nil];
keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"workPhone", @"workFax", @"workEmail", nil];

personalInfo = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[personalInfo setObject: [record valueForProperty: kABFirstNameProperty] forKey: @"firstName"];
[personalInfo setObject: [record valueForProperty: kABLastNameProperty] forKey: @"lastName"];
[personalInfo setObject: [record valueForProperty: kABOrganizationProperty] forKey: @"company"];

count = [multiValueProperties count];
for (x = 0; x < count; x++) {
multiValue = [record valueForProperty: [multiValueProperties objectAtIndex: x]];
[personalInfo setObject: [self valueForProperty: multiValue
givenLabel: [multiValueLabels objectAtIndex: x]]
forKey: [keys objectAtIndex: x]];
}
return personalInfo;
}


+(NSString *)valueForProperty: (ABMultiValue *)multiValue givenLabel: (NSString *)label {
int x, count;
NSString *currentLabel;

count = [multiValue count];
for (x = 0; x < count; x++) {
currentLabel = [multiValue labelAtIndex: x];
if (currentLabel == label)
return [multiValue valueAtIndex: x];
}
return @"";
}
