How to remove NSDate objects from a NSMutableArray
- by Ryan
I have been working with NSArrays and NSMutableArrays that store NSDate objects for a few days now. I noticed that calling [listOfDates removeObject:date1] removes all the NSDate objects from the array. I have instead been doing this to remove objects:
NSMutableArray *dateList; // Has Dates in it
NSDate *dateToRemove; // Date Object to Remove
__block NSUInteger indexToRemove;
__block BOOL foundMatch = NO;
[dateList enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
if ([obj isEqualToDate:dateToRemove]) {
indexToRemove = idx;
foundMatch = YES;
*stop = YES;
}
}];
if (foundMatch) {
[dateList removeObjectAtIndex:indexToRemove];
}
Is there a better way to be doing this? Perhaps another data structure? Or a simpler function?
