I am using ASIHTTPREQUEST in an iPhone project to get some data that looks something like this (as an NSString):
name:daniel, age:22, occupation:runner, name:greg, age:32, occupation:plumber
and I want to parse these into dictionaries or arrays so that I can get all names, or all occupations etc.
How can I do this in objective-c?
Thanks
One way is to use NSString’s
-componentsSeparatedByString:method with a separator string of@", "to break the string up into separate substrings, one for each key/value pair. Then you can use it again with a separator of@":"to break each substring into a key and a value, and insert these into a dictionary.Another way is to use NSScanner to scan through your input string, taking the keys and values sequentially.
