In dictionary named dict
the key value pair is:
"alba\U2019s window" = "A model in westindies.";
And to send objectForKey:
I am getting the string like "alba's window". When I send like following:
[dict objectForKey:alba's window];
I am not getting anything, it is showing null.
For starters, you might want to make that an actual string, like so:
[dict objectForKey:@"alba's window"];
Note also that \U2019
is not '
; but ’
, which is a different character entirely.
And more generally, sticking to [a-zA-Z0-9]+
for dictionary keys is probably a good idea, unless you are inserting and retrieving programmatically using the exact same string as a key.
Since iOS6 onwards, a convenient method for setting and accessing the object for a key from an NSDictionary is:
//Setting the object in NSMutableDictionary
dictionary[@"someKey"] = @"someString";
//Accessing the object
NSString *str = dictionary[@"someKey"];
Make sure your dict
isn't null; sending a message to a null object will silently fail and return null
.
Another way to check your key/values is to simply NSLog(@"%@",dict);
and this will show you the contents of the dictionary. Note that this output only shows quotes around values when the value contains a space.
Also, make sure you're using the same pairs of strings as the key - it looks like you're using "alba\U2019s window"
in addition to "alba's window"
