Question

NSLog give me this when i print some NSDictionary object. I see, that in this NSDictionary are few NSDictionary objects. i must to send this to UITextView, but this must be one list without {ExifAux}, {Exif}, {IPTC}, {TIFF}. how can i do this?

It’s not the most beautiful way, but I guess this should work:

- (NSString *)stringOutputForDictionary:(NSDictionary *)inputDict {
   NSMutableString * outputString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:256];

   NSArray * allKeys = [inputDict allKeys];

   for (NSString * key in allKeys) {
        if ([[inputDict objectForKey:key] isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
            [outputString appendString: [self stringOutputForDictionary: (NSDictionary *)inputDict]];
        }
        else {
        [outputString appendString: key];
        [outputString appendString: @": "];
        [outputString appendString: [[inputDict objectForKey: key] description]];
        }
    [outputString appendString: @"\n"];
    }

    return [NSString stringWithString: outputString];
}
