        IsActive = 0;

)

I Am Doing this

{   NSString *str = self.AppDelegate.indexname;
    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ANY CategoryName LIKE %@",str];
    NSArray *result = [songArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
    NSLog(@"%@",result);
}

And This Also

{
 NSString *str=self.AppDelegate.indexname;
 NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    for(NSDictionary *dict in songArray)
 {
        if([[dict objectForKey:@"CategoryName"]isEqualToString:str])
    {
        [arr addObject:dict];
        NSLog(@"%@",arr);
    }
 }

}

But Not Getting Output I want at this is the Errror in line NSArray *result = [songArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];

Answer 1

You can use NSPredicate for filter NSArray or NSMutableArray of NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary.

NSString *str = <search string>;
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ANY CategoryName LIKE %@", str];
NSArray *result = [value filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
