Your question is not clear. Possibly you need to get all keys in your dictionary and separating each item with specific word in it(checka/checkb/checkc).

If that is the case then, You will get all the keys using:

NSArray *dictKeys = [yourDictionary allKeys];

You can implement this in multiple ways, one of them:

For storing it in same array:

for (NSString *key in [yourDictionary allKeys])
{
    [yourArray addObject:[yourDictionary objectForKey:key]];
}

For storing it in seperate arrays:

for (NSString *key in [yourDictionary allKeys])
{
  if([key rangeOfString:@"checka"].location != NSNotFound)
  {
    //add checka to first array
    [yourFirstArray addObject:[yourDictionary objectForKey:key]];
  }
  else if([key rangeOfString:@"checkb"].location != NSNotFound)
  {
    //add checkb to second array
    [yourSecondArray addObject:[yourDictionary objectForKey:key]];
  }
 ...
}
