Question

When I NSLog my NSMutableArray, what I get is the following

{  ABSNFGH True,
FDGJDKG False
GFKFLDL True
PDHJHN True
FHKDMD True
DSHDMD False )

The problem is that, I am not creating this array. But I want to store each entry(e.g. ABSNFGH) in a string and its corresponding status in a bool inside a for loop . How can I do this?

Answer 1

Suppose we name your array as yourArray

yourArray ->  {  ABSNFGH True,
                  FDGJDKG False,
                  GFKFLDL True,
                  PDHJHN True,
                  FHKDMD True,
                  DSHDMD False }

You need to add this loop:

for(int i = 0; i<[yourArray count];i++)
{
    NSArray *array = [[yourArray objectAtIndex:i] componentsSeperatedByString:@" "];
    if([array count]>1)
    { 
        NSString *stringValue = [array objectAtIndex:0];
        BOOL val = [[array objectAtIndex:1] boolValue];
    }
}

I think this should work. I have not tried implementing it personally, but may be this would work.

EDIT:

yourArray should ideally be like this:

(  
  {
      stringVal = 'ABSNFGH' 
      boolVal = True
  },
  {
      stringVal = 'FDGJDKG' 
      boolVal = False
  },
  {
      stringVal = 'GFKFLDL' 
      boolVal = True
  }
)

Refer to this link. Here you just need to replace object with a NSDictionary and you are done.

Making an array of Objects in Objective-C.

Here I have modified ennuikiller’s answer from that link, to make you understand for your case:

@interface Controller

NSMutableArray *yourArray;

@end
@implementation Controller

-(void) viewDidLoad {
................
NSMutableArray *yourArray = [NSMutableArray initWithCapacity:40];

}

-(IBAction)doSomeWork
{
      NSDictionary *object = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
      [object setValue:@"ASDFG" forKey:@"stringVal"];
      [object setBool:False forKey:@"boolVal"];

      [yourArray addObject:object];

}
@end

Hope this helps.
