Read plist from URL into NSMutableDictionary

Image
By User



I am trying to do read a PLIST from URL to a NSMutableDictionary.





Code before







autos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];



[autos addObject:[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Auto 1", @"name", @"Auto.png", @"image", @"Klassiker", @"description" , nil]];







This works. But now I want to use a PLIST. And I am trying this, this way:







autos = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist"]]];







Thanks.





PLIST http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist

    Your property list contains a dictionary, but you're trying to use it to instantiate an array. Do this instead:

    NSMutableDictionary *autos = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:
    [NSURL urlWithString:@"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9358444/auto.plist"]];

    I'm new to the site, I'm still not sure how to add comments to the OP. Load it into a dictionary first then transfer it into a mutable array

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
