I'm trying to compare two dictionaries and am getting [dict1 isEqualToDictionary: dict2] = NO when they are exactly the same. If I NSLog each dictionary cut, paste their descriptions into separate BBEdit files and do a diff, BBEdit says they are identical.

Why are you comparing string representations?

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSDictionary_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSDictionary/isEqualToDictionary: > "Two dictionaries have equal contents if they each hold the same number of entries and, for a given key, the corresponding value objects in each dictionary satisfy the isEqual: test."

Do your objects satisfy that test?
