You can't. Iterating through the array is the only way, unless the
dictionaries are organized in some special way. Out of curiosity, why
not just use a single dictionary, instead of an array of dictionaries?

Hi all,
I have an array. Each array entry is a dictionary. Each dictionary
has two key/value pairs (all are strings).
Now I get from somewhere else the value (a string) corresponding to
one of the keys. It's exactly the same string, content-wise (not
address-wise).
What I need: a reference/pointer to THAT dictionary inside the array
which contains this string as the value of the key (I know what key
it is).
How would I do that?
My knowledge is: to get an array's entry I just have the
objectAtIndex: method. But then I'd need the index where the
dictionary I'm looking for is. How would I get the index without, of
course, iterating through all the array's entries and looking at
every dictionary and comparing my given value with all the values
inside the dictionaries?
Thanks a LOT guys!!
Stefan.
