When I use beginswith, endswith or == instead of "contains" it works
fine.
So how can I find all filenames wich contain a given string? (Btw.
"matches" also does not work).
kMDItemFSName is not an attribute name--it is a constant that
represents an
attribute name.
OTOH, try:
NSString *predicateFormat = @"%K contains %@";
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:predicateFormat,
searchString, kMDItemFSName];
Following your suggestion I found two solutions:
NSString *predicateFormat = @"%@ contains %K";
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:
predicateFormat, searchString, kMDItemFSName];
or:
NSString *predicateFormat = @"%@ contains kMDItemFSName";
NSPredicate *predicate = [ NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:
predicateFormat, searchString ];
The predicate seems sort of backwards - but at least it works.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
