NSPredicate在CoreData中常用作查询使用，相当于sql语句中的where查询子句。
最常用的方法为：
NSPredicate *ca = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:(NSString *), ...];
NSEntityDescription * emEty = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"student" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
NSFetchRequest *frq = [[NSFetchRequest alloc]init];
[frq setEntity:emEty];
NSPredicate * cdt = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name= %@",@"jjy"];
[frq setPredicate:cdt];
NSArray *objs =[self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:frq error:nil];
当然了这个还有其他用处，在网上看大针对其他用法的总结，在这借用过来，分享给大家：
Format：
(1)比较运算符>,<,==,>=,<=,!=
可用于数值及字符串
例：@"number > 100"
(2)范围运算符：IN、BETWEEN
例：@"number BETWEEN {1,5}"
@"address IN {‘shanghai‘,‘beijing‘}"
(3)字符串本身:SELF
例：@“SELF == ‘APPLE’"
(4)字符串相关：BEGINSWITH、ENDSWITH、CONTAINS
例：@"name CONTAIN[cd] ‘ang‘" //包含某个字符串
@"name BEGINSWITH[c] ‘sh‘" //以某个字符串开头
@"name ENDSWITH[d] ‘ang‘" //以某个字符串结束
注:[c]不区分大小写[d]不区分发音符号即没有重音符号[cd]既不区分大小写，也不区分发音符号。
(5)通配符：LIKE
例：@"name LIKE[cd] ‘*er*‘" //*代表通配符,Like也接受[cd].
@"name LIKE[cd] ‘???er*‘"
(6)正则表达式：MATCHES
例：NSString *regex = @"^A.+e$"; //以A开头，e结尾
@"name MATCHES %@",regex
实际应用：
(1)对NSArray进行过滤
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"beijing",@"shanghai",@"guangzou",@"wuhan", nil]; NSString *string = @"ang"; NSPredicate *pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF CONTAINS %@",string]; NSLog(@"%@",[array filteredArrayUsingPredicate:pred]);
NSString *regex = @"[A-Za-z]+";
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", regex];
if ([predicate evaluateWithObject:aString]) {
} NSError* error = NULL;
NSRegularExpression* regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(encoding=\")[^\"]+(\")"
options:0
error:&error];
NSString* sample = @"<xml encoding=\"abc\"></xml><xml encoding=\"def\"></xml><xml encoding=\"ttt\"></xml>";
NSLog(@"Start:%@",sample);
NSString* result = [regex stringByReplacingMatchesInString:sample
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, sample.length)
withTemplate:@"$1utf-8$2"];
NSLog(@"Result:%@", result); //组装一个字符串，需要把里面的网址解析出来
NSString *urlString=@"<meta/><link/><title>1Q84 BOOK1</title></head><body>";
//NSRegularExpression类里面调用表达的方法需要传递一个NSError的参数。下面定义一个
NSError *error;
//http+:[^\\s]* 这个表达式是检测一个网址的。(?<=title\>).*(?=</title)截取html文章中的<title></title>中内文字的正则表达式
NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?<=title\\>).*(?=</title)" options:0 error:&error];
if (regex != nil) {
NSTextCheckingResult *firstMatch=[regex firstMatchInString:urlString options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [urlString length])];
if (firstMatch) {
NSRange resultRange = [firstMatch rangeAtIndex:0];
//从urlString当中截取数据
NSString *result=[urlString substringWithRange:resultRange];
//输出结果
NSLog(@"->%@<-",result);
}
} //组装一个字符串，需要把里面的网址解析出来
NSString *urlString=@"<meta/><link/><title>1Q84 BOOK1</title></head><body>";
//NSRegularExpression类里面调用表达的方法需要传递一个NSError的参数。下面定义一个
NSError *error;
//http+:[^\\s]* 这个表达式是检测一个网址的。(?<=title\>).*(?=</title)截取html文章中的<title></title>中内文字的正则表达式
NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?<=title\\>).*(?=</title)" options:0 error:&error];
if (regex != nil) {
NSTextCheckingResult *firstMatch=[regex firstMatchInString:urlString options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [urlString length])];
if (firstMatch) {
NSRange resultRange = [firstMatch rangeAtIndex:0];
//从urlString当中截取数据
NSString *result=[urlString substringWithRange:resultRange];
//输出结果
NSLog(@"->%@<-",result);
}
}
(5)判断手机号码，电话号码函数
[cpp] view plaincopy
// 正则判断手机号码地址格式
