NSPredicate使用

// Cocoa用NSPredicate描述查询的方式，原理类似于在数据库中进行查询//基本的查询

NSPredicate *predicate;
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"name == 'Herbie'"];
BOOL match = [predicate evaluateWithObject: car];
NSLog (@"%s", (match) ? "YES" : "NO");

// 在整个cars里面循环比较
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"engine.horsepower > 150"];
NSArray *cars = [garage cars];
for (Car *car in [garage cars]) {
    if ([predicate evaluateWithObject: car]) {
        NSLog (@"%@", car.name);
    }
}

// 输出完整的信息
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"engine.horsepower > 150"];
NSArray *results;
results = [cars filteredArrayUsingPredicate: predicate];
NSLog (@"%@", results);

// 含有变量的谓词
NSPredicate *predicateTemplate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name == $NAME"];
NSDictionary *varDict;
varDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Herbie", @"NAME", nil];
predicate = [predicateTemplate predicateWithSubstitutionVariables: varDict];
NSLog(@"SNORGLE: %@", predicate);
match = [predicate evaluateWithObject: car];
NSLog (@"%s", (match) ? "YES" : "NO");

// 注意不能使用$VARIABLE作为路径名，因为它值代表值
// 谓词字符窜还支持c语言中一些常用的运算符

NSLog (@"%@", results);

// BEGINSWITH,ENDSWITH,CONTAINS
// 附加符号，[c],[d],[cd],c表示不区分大小写，d表示不区分发音字符，cd表示什么都不区分
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"name BEGINSWITH 'Bad'"];

// LIKE运算符（通配符）
predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"name LIKE[cd] '*er*'"];
