Question

I have the following array:

    NSString *testString = @"1|Car|Red|Ford";
    NSArray *testArray = [testString componentsSeparatedByString:@"|"];

Is it possible to set “1” as key and then “Car”, “Red”, and “Ford” as the objects for that key?

So that if I use my NSMutableDictionary in a table I can have a lot of data for each cell.

Answer 1

NSString *testString = @"1|Car|Red|Ford";
NSArray *testArray = [testString componentsSeparatedByString:@"|"];
NSString *key = [testArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *values = [testArray subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, [testArray count] - 1)];
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:values forKey:key];
