    <p>I am trying to get a string out of a plist file that contains a nested dictionary. This is the plist:</p> <pre><code>&lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;DataPoints&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;source&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;BloomBerg&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;date&lt;/key&gt; &lt;date&gt;2010-01-31T14:54:13Z&lt;/date&gt; &lt;key&gt;value&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;1233&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;source&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;BloomBerg&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;date&lt;/key&gt; &lt;date&gt;2010-02-02T14:54:13Z&lt;/date&gt; &lt;key&gt;value&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;1235&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;source&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;BloomBerg&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;date&lt;/key&gt; &lt;date&gt;2010-01-31T14:54:13Z&lt;/date&gt; &lt;key&gt;value&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;1230&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>NSString *path = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"sampledata.plist"]; NSDictionary* plotDictionary = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path] retain]; NSArray* plotData = [plotDictionary objectForKey:@"DataPoints"]; NSLog(@"Got the dict %d",[plotData count]); NSDictionary* plotPoint = [plotData objectAtIndex:1]; NSLog(@"Got the point %d",[plotPoint count]); NSString* source = [plotPoint objectForKey:@"source"]; NSLog(@"...", source); </code></pre> <p>I get the counts of the arrays and the dicts but not the value of the string. Probably doing something simple wrong...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
