Or, if you do have a lot of objects that you look up often from your cache, upon loading:

NSMutableDictionary personBySSN = new NSMutableDictionary();

In loop:
        personBySSN.setObjectForKey(person, person.ssn());

Then to lookup:

person = (Person) personBySSN.objectForKey(ssn);


Of course, you should only do this with keys that you know are always there, and always unique...

NSArray results = EOQualifier.filteredArrayWithQualifier(array, qualifier);

or if you use Wonder:

NSArray<Something> results = ERXQ.filtered(array, qualifier);

I'm thinking this is a newbie question, but I can't seem to find an answer in the docs (likely I'm reading them incorrectly).

Situation:

I'm pulling objects into an NSArray to reduce multiple lookups later.

So, I have these objects and I want to do a lookup of one object in the NSArray. But all I have is the value of one element of the object in the array.

Example:

NSArray anArray = EOUtilities...; // gets about 1,000 person objects from the database

Now I'd like to find a single object in anArray based on SSN.

It seems that anArray.indexOfObject( object ); is intended to do this but I don't have the object, I only have an identifier for the object.

I'm sure this is handled, but am out of channels to research.

Thanks

Drew
