Dictionary giving improper value

Question

This is my code

for(id tempLangItem in jp.staffData)
        {
 NSMutableDictionary *temp=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:tempLangItem];
            NSString *name = [temp objectForKey:@"lang_name"];
            NSLog(@"item_name =%@",name);
            NSLog(@"value in dictionary=%@",temp);



}

These are log details

item_name =marinieres

 value_in_dictionary={
    "lang_id" = 2;
    "lang_name" = "\U7a46\U840a\U65afmarinieres";
    time = "2013-06-05 05:14:50";
}

why it is giving lang_name=\U7a46\U840a\U65afmarinieres in value_in_dictionary logs while it is displaying correct in item_name log.

What are the `tempLangItem`-dictionary your `temp`-dictionary are initialized with? Could you include it in you code, perhaps? — mfaerevaag, Jun 06 '13 at 07:04
Convert the string into the proper format as these are the UTF characters that are being displayed — Akhilesh Sharma, Jun 06 '13 at 07:09

Is that string supposed to contain 穆萊斯 at the beginning? Note that \U expects eight hex digits and \u is used for four hex digits, which may be the reason why they’re being ignored when showing the string with `NSLog()`. Could you edit your question and show the corresponding JSON string? It could be a problem in your JSON provider or the JSON parser you’re using. — , Jun 06 '13 at 08:04

Tried

NSMutableDictionary *temp=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[temp setObject:@"marinieres" forKey:@"lang_name"];

NSString *name = [temp objectForKey:@"lang_name"];
NSLog(@"item_name =%@",name);
NSLog(@"value in dictionary=%@",temp);

and what my log shows

2013-06-06 12:38:02.337 Cool[96423:11303] item_name =marinieres
2013-06-06 12:38:04.022 Cool[96423:11303] value in dictionary={
    "lang_name" = marinieres;
}

1 Quick question: if it is an NSDictionary why you creating a new instance?

 NSMutableDictionary *temp=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:tempLangItem];

try with tempLangItem

It could be anything that are coming from Jp. staffData, NSArray of NSdictionary. – Suraj Gupta Jun 06 '13 at 07:13
why create an instance ?use the dict itself – Lithu T.V Jun 06 '13 at 07:16
How can i change the value of any key for NSdictionary ? – Suraj Gupta Jun 06 '13 at 07:22
[temp setObject:@"marinieres" forKey:@"lang_name"]; – Lithu T.V Jun 06 '13 at 07:23
setObject methode applicable for NSMutableDictionary not for NSDictionary. – Suraj Gupta Jun 06 '13 at 07:33
Yes exactly.NSDictionary is immutable.But you need here to get the value not set right? the code seems so – Lithu T.V Jun 06 '13 at 07:35
