Parse XML attribute to NSInteger

mr curious · 09-13-2011, 03:05 AM

Hey all,

I have an app which is reading from an XML file and saving the info in core data.

In my one entity Statement I have an an attribute accNum of type Integer and a few others of type Decimal.

For the Decimal attribute I'm saving them to core data as follows:

Code:

statement = (Statements *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Statement" inManagedObjectContext:appDelegate.managedObjectContext];

[statement setBalanceOpen: [NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithDecimal:[[attributeDict objectForKey:@"balance_open"] decimalValue]]];

However I'm struggling to save the Integer to the core data attribute.
Any help please?

Thanks
mc

Have you tried using NSNumber?

Code:

[NSNumber numberWithInt:[[attributeDict objectForKey:@"int_key"] intValue]]

Then you can set your core data attribute with this.

I tried that, it gave me an error trying to parse an NSNumber to an NSDecimalNumber or something like that. I changed the type of the attribute and managed to get it to work.
