    <p>I've looked at a bunch of other questions and they're not exactly what I need. I'm trying to set a NSTextField to a certain string based on the name of the file. I want to create a plist file with all the possible names of the file and their keys to set the NSTextField's string as. But I don't know how to have it check the plist for the items and if it's not there I want it to execute the code to leave the text field blank. Before I had if statements saying that if the filename equals this then make it say this but I couldn't get the else part to work and only one if worked. So I thought I'd have it check the plist but I don't know how to do that and use it with an if-else statement. This is what I had before:</p> <pre><code>NSString *inputName = [input stringValue]; NSString *theFileName = [[inputName lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension]; if ([theFileName isEqualToString:@"038-3698-001"]) { [key setStringValue:@"7ed37d8c051da8f8d31b0ccf0980fa5ffa54770c7e68ecb5ebf28abe683cadf21a4a99ed"]; } if ([theFileName isEqualToString:@"038-3763-001"]) { [key setStringValue:@"a31ffd506c6711c5a0c52c9f0a2f7208a2f63ad9dd40506e70d80ea20a981eb1312bc774"]; } else { [key setStringValue:@""]; } </code></pre> <p>EDIT: I have it checking the plist for the key but now I need it to get the value for the key from the plist. Something like this:</p> <pre><code>NSString *inputName = [input stringValue]; NSString *theFileName = [[inputName lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension]; NSDictionary *fileKeys = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Keys" ofType:@"plist"]]; if ([fileKeys valueForKey:theFileName]) { NSString *key = [NSString valueForKey:theFileName]; [filesField setStringValue:key]; } else { [filesField setStringValue:@""]; } </code></pre> <p>Nevermind I got it. This is correct code: </p> <pre><code>NSString *inputName = [input stringValue]; NSString *theFileName = [[inputName lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension]; NSDictionary *fileKeys = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Keys" ofType:@"plist"]]; if ([fileKeys valueForKey:theFileName]) { NSString *key = [fileKeys valueForKey:theFileName]; [filesField setStringValue:key]; } else { [filesField setStringValue:@""]; } </code></pre>

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.
