Question

I get the following NSDictionary when I parse a JSON response from my server:

(
     {
        fromUname = Ben;
        id = ci2n9awef7tm7e142sx;
        message = hi;
        read = 1;
        subject = hi;
        time = 1316513972;
        toUname = Jill;
    },
    {
        fromUname = Eamorr;
        id = asdf98s14u7tm7e142sx;
        message = asdf;
        read = 0;
        subject = asdf;
        time = 1316513322;
        toUname = Jack;
    }
)

I’m really struggling to extract the two subjects.

Here’s what I’ve coded sofar (incomplete…):

    ...
    SBJsonParser *parser=[[SBJsonParser alloc]init];
    NSDictionary *obj=[parser objectWithString:[request responseString] error:nil];
    NSLog(@"%@",obj);
    NSLog(@"%d",[obj count]);
    for(int i=0;i<[obj count];i++){
        NSDictionary *message=[obj objectForKey:];
        NSLog(@"%@",[message objectForKey:@"subject"]);    //I'm stuck...
    }
    ...

Can anyone give me some efficient way of extracting the subjects?

Many thanks in advance,

Its actually an NSArray of NSDictionaries. So to get the information, loop through the array and get the dictionary:

SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];
NSArray *obj = [parser objectWithString:[request responseString] error:nil];
NSLog(@"%@ : %d",obj, [obj count]);

for (NSDictionary *dict in obj) {
    NSLog(@"%@", [dict objectForKey:@"subject"]);
}
