I have a dictionary like :
{
levels = {
exchange = {
text = ALL;
};
product = {
text = ALL;
};
segment = {
text = ALL;
};
symbol = {
text = ALL;
};
};
marginavailable = {
adhocmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
branchadhoc = {
text = "0.00";
};
cashmarginavailable = {
text = "0.00";
};
collateralvalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
credits = {
text = "0.00";
};
directcollateralvalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
notionalcash = {
text = 0;
};
payinamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
};
marginutilised = {
adhocscripmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
category = {
text = 0;
};
cncmarginused = {
text = 0;
};
cncsellcreditpresent = {
text = 0;
};
debits = {
text = "0.00";
};
elm = {
text = "0.00";
};
exposuremargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
grossexposurevalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
ipoamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
mfamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
multiplier = {
text = "0.00";
};
payoutamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
premiumpresent = {
text = "0.00";
};
realisedmtom = {
text = "-0.00";
};
scripbasketmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
spanmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
subtotal = {
text = "0.00";
};
turnover = {
text = "0.00";
};
unrealisedmtom = {
text = "-0.00";
};
valueindelivery = {
text = "0.0";
};
varmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
};
net = {
text = "0.00";
};
}
Above dictionary contains four keys that is levels,marginavailable,marginutilised and net etc
I want objects from first three keys and last object in to an array.I have tried a lot but not finding out any logic to parse it.
I want array of dictionary like this
exchange = {
text = ALL;
};
product = {
text = ALL;
};
segment = {
text = ALL;
};
symbol = {
text = ALL;
};
adhocmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
branchadhoc = {
text = "0.00";
};
cashmarginavailable = {
text = "0.00";
};
collateralvalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
credits = {
text = "0.00";
};
directcollateralvalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
notionalcash = {
text = 0;
};
payinamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
adhocscripmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
category = {
text = 0;
};
cncmarginused = {
text = 0;
};
cncsellcreditpresent = {
text = 0;
};
debits = {
text = "0.00";
};
elm = {
text = "0.00";
};
exposuremargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
grossexposurevalue = {
text = "0.00";
};
ipoamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
mfamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
multiplier = {
text = "0.00";
};
payoutamount = {
text = "0.00";
};
premiumpresent = {
text = "0.00";
};
realisedmtom = {
text = "-0.00";
};
scripbasketmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
spanmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
subtotal = {
text = "0.00";
};
turnover = {
text = "0.00";
};
unrealisedmtom = {
text = "-0.00";
};
valueindelivery = {
text = "0.0";
};
varmargin = {
text = "0.00";
};
net = {
text = "0.00";
};
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use addEntriesFromDictionary: of NSMutableDictionary to build a new dictionary that merges each of the second-level dictionaries of your original data.
Something like this:
// Original data presumed held in origData
NSMutableDictionary *newDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[newDict addEntriesFromDictionary: [origData objectForKey: #"levels"]];
// etc. for the other keys

Answer 2

You just try following logic it may help you.
resultAry = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[resultAry addObject:[[parentDictionary objectForKey:#"levels"]objectForKey:#"exchange"]];
Like that you add all object from levels key then follow the same way for marginavailable and marginutilised
Then finally add net
[resultAry addObject:[parentDictionary objectForKey:#"net"]];

Answer 3

This code should hold good if the maindictionary contains dictionaries
NSMutableArray *dictionaryArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (NSDictionary *childDictionaries in rootDict) { // rootDict is the original dictionary whic has all the four keys levels,marginAvailable,marginutilized and net
for (NSDictionary *dict in childDictionaries) {
[dictionaryArray addObject:dict];
}
}

Answer 4

NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[dictionary enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock:^(id key, id obj, BOOL *stop)
{
if ([(NSString *)key isEqualToString:#"marginutilised"])
*stop = YES;
[newArray addObjectsFromArray:(NSArray *)obj];
}];
Now you can got the result in newArray :)

Answer 5

To get all objects in a array, you can also use enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock: like so
NSMutableArray *yourArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:0];
[yourDict enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock:^(id key, id obj, BOOL *stop) {
if([(NSString*)key isEqualToString:#"net"]){
[yourArray addObject:[(NSDictionary*)obj objectForKey:#"net"]];
*stop = YES;
}
[yourArray addObject:obj];
}];
