Reply To: hypothesis for multiple string match

[davestrand]

Okee dokes, hello again. My beer function helped me sleep on it, but I’m still missing something. Here’s some of my code I’m working on.

  objectsInRoom = [playerIsNowAt objectForKey:@"ObjectsInLocation"]; //Bringing objects based on location

NSLog(@"Here are objects in room - %@", objectsInRoom); //logged below

    //Failed experiments
    //NSArray *objectWords = [objectsInRoom allKeys];
    //NSString *objectString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",objectWords];
    //NSArray *spokenWords = [hypothesis componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];
    //NSString *spokenString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",spokenWords];
   //if([hypothesis isEqualToString:@"BEER"]) { //only works if they just say BEER 
    
    
    if ([hypothesis rangeOfString:@"BEER"].location != NSNotFound){ // ok but how do i make it search thru allkeys for my dictionary??  maybe the next room has WINE or MIMOSA.
        
        NSLog(@"HOPE KEPT ALIVE");
        
    }

THE LOG :
Here are objects in room – {
BEER = Beer;
PEANUTS = Peanuts;
READ = Menu;
}

So, as you see I can seem to pull single words in using Range, but am stuck on returning a value based on the dictionary.

Other related code.. in .h
@property (copy, nonatomic) NSDictionary *objectsInRoom;

in .m
@synthesize objectsInRoom; //hm, I think i’m supposed to not synthesize these days and use that underscore thingy?

I’ve only been coding for a few months, so understanding is appreciated.
