How to filter a dictionary of arrays
I have a dictionary of arrays which I want to filter based on an element in the arrays. My dictionary looks like this...
"Abu Dhabi, U.A.E." = ( "24.466665", "54.416668", "Asia/Dubai" ); "Accra, Ghana" = ( "5.583333", "-0.100000", "Africa/Accra" ); "Adak, America" = ( "", "", "America/Adak" ); "Addis Ababa, Ethiopia" = ( "9.050000", "38.700001", "Africa/Addis_Ababa" );
I want to filter the dictionary based on the 3rd item, for example all keys that the third item (timezone ID) is "America/Adak".
I think I can do this with keysOfEntriesPassingTest, but I am at a loss as to how to do this. I have found some sample code...
mySet = [myDict keysOfEntriesPassingTest:^(id key, id obj, BOOL *stop) {
if( [[obj port] isEqu开发者_Go百科al: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 8080]]) {
return YES;
else
return NO;
}]
But I cannot figure out how to rewrite this to work in my case. I do not understand the syntax required.
Could someone please help me figure out how to implement this filter?
Thanks, John
mySet = [myDict keysOfEntriesPassingTest:^(id key, id obj, BOOL *stop) {
if ([[obj objectAtIndex:2] isEqualToString:@"America/Adak"]) {
return YES;
} else {
return NO;
}
}];
Note that, as the method name implies, the resulting set will only contain the keys, not the arrays themselves.
Ole, Thank YOU!!
The if statement in the sample code I found was not formatted correctly. I think you revised only the pertinent portion for me. For the benefit of others looking at this question, here is the final working code...
mySet = [citiesDictionary keysOfEntriesPassingTest:^(id key, id obj, BOOL *stop)
{
if([[obj objectAtIndex:2] isEqualToString:@"America/Adak"]){
return YES;
}else {
return NO;
}
}];
