Question

I am trying to filter a NSArray which contains objects which are NSDictionary. This NSDictionary again contains NSDictionary inside it.

It looks something like this.

[
  {
    Comp_Name =      {
        text = "Quality Ace #5846-C";
    };
    ShipTo =         {
        text = 312025846;
    };
    SoldTo =         {
        text = 10000081;
    };
  },
  {
    Comp_Name =      {
        text = "Billington Ace Hardware  - 5863K";
    };
    ShipTo =         {
        text = 312025863;
    };
    SoldTo =         {
        text = 10000081;
    };
  }
]

I want to filter this Array to some “text” which matches with object for “Comp_Name”.

Code that I am using is:

_filteredList = [_unFilteredArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Comp_Name == %@", searchBar.text]];

Please help me getting a filtered list based on object “Comp_Name”, “text”.

@rmaddy – Thanks for help!!! @"Comp_Name.text == %@" works just fine.
