NSPredicate to test for NULL, and blank strings
If you don't use Core Data, you could do:
NSPredicate *predicateName = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name.length > 0"];
If the string is empty, this will fail (because 0 == 0
). Similarly, if name
is nil
, it will also fail, because [nil length] == 0
.
I think this should work:
NSPredicate *predicateName = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name!=nil AND name!=''"];
NSPredicate *predicateName = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name!=NULL"];
