Building an array of arrays
- by iFloh
I am trying to get the following loop working to fill an array of arrays:
while (condition) {
[itemsArray fillFromDB];
if (! [checkArray containsObject:checkFlag]) {
// Add existing itemsArray to myArray
if (itemsArray.count) {
// add the itemsArray to myArray and create a new instance of itemsArray
[myArray addObject:itemsArray];
[itemsArray release];
NSMutableArray *itemsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
[itemsArray addObject:myObject];
[checkArray addObject:checkFlag];
} else {
[itemsArray addObject:tmpEvent];
} }
However I try to shape this loop it falls over the release of itemsArray
when I use release (as above), the array does not re-initialise as a new instance with alloc. Whilst expecting emptyness, the next Object is added to the old array.
when I use removeAllObjects, my Array is emptied and so is the array attached to myArray.
Where am I going in the wrong direction?
