Extracting Data from NSMuableDictionary to NSString and compering to String issue - iphone

Question

Im Extracting Data from NSMuableDictionary to NSString and try compering to String like this:
NSDictionary *error = [[NSDictionary alloc]init];
NSString *errorCode = [[NSString alloc]init];
error = [sing.globalCallsDitionary valueForKey:#"Error"];
NSLog(#"error code %#",[error valueForKey:#"error_code"]);
errorCode = [error valueForKey:#"error_code"];
if ([errorCode isEqualToString:#"-1"]) {
When the if statement executed i get this error talking about an array, the error looks like this:
2012-04-27 06:34:49.686 CallBiz[10319:707] error code (
"-1"
)
2012-04-27 06:35:00.602 CallBiz[10319:707] -[__NSArrayI isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x16fc10
2012-04-27 06:35:00.608 CallBiz[10319:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x16fc10'

terminate called throwing an exception
It is as xCode is looking on my NSString *errorCode = [[NSString alloc]init]; as if it is an NSArray, can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Error occurs because your errorCode came as a array, instead of string. If you are sure that only 1 object come here, then you can use -
if ([[errorCode objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:#"-1"])
It will work, although it will through a warning, because errorCode is defined as a string object. So you ned to sure what data you are getting in response and then define data structure appropriately.
