[SOLVED] Autocomplete from an array of dictionaries


  • Subject: [SOLVED] Autocomplete from an array of dictionaries
  • From: Jason Wiggins <email@hidden>

Note to self: RTFM!

I was trying:

NSArray *matchingNames = [[namesArray objectForKey:@"description"] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF beginswith[cd] %@", substring]];

which doesn't work

What I wanted was:

NSArray *matchingNames = [[namesArray valueForKey:@"description"] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF beginswith[cd] %@", substring]];

Hi,

I'm working on an autocompletion system such as with mail To: Cc: fields etc.
I have an array of dictionaries and I want the autocomplete to match to the key "description"
This code below works great for an array of strings:


NSArray *matchingNames = [namesArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate: [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF beginswith[cd] %@", substring]];

But how do I get the above code to match to a specific key from a dictionary?

Regards,
Jason Wiggins
