Question

If I’m grabbing the data in a plist using:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Providers" ofType:@"plist"];
dataArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:path];
for (NSDictionary *dictionary in dataArray)
{
    text = [dictionary valueForKey:@"text"];
    checked = [dictionary valueForKey:@"checked"];
    NSLog(@"%@ checked value is: %@", text, checked);
}

How might I go about writing a conditional statement that checks to see only if checked is set to YES and if so output the text value of the providers

Assuming that checked is stored as a BOOL wrapped in NSNumber^*, you can use this code:

NSNumber *checked = [dictionary valueForKey:@"checked"];
if ([checked boolValue]) {
    ...
}

^* You wrap a BOOL in NSNumber by calling [NSNumber numberWithBool:myBoolValue].
