For those of you who have done work with the ABAddressBook framework, I have found the following method for testing the contents of an ABMultiValue object extremely handy!

void printMultiValue(char *title,id prop, ABPerson *p){


int j,k;


ABMultiValue *multi = [p valueForProperty:prop];


if([multi count])


printf(”         * %s:\n“,title);


// sometimes we get NSDictionaries for values.  These


// need to be handled differently (kABAddressProperty does this, for example)


if ([[multi valueAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]] == YES){


for (k=0;k<[multi count];++k){


NSArray *keys, *values;


keys = [[multi valueAtIndex:k] allKeys];


values = [[multi valueAtIndex:k] allValues];





// get the dictionary name


printf(”            * %s\n“,


[[multi labelAtIndex:k] UTF8String]);





for (j=0;j<[keys count];++j){


printf(”               * %s: %s\n“,


[[keys objectAtIndex:j] UTF8String],


[[values objectAtIndex:j] UTF8String]);


}


}


}else{


for (j=0;j<[multi count];++j){


printf(”            * %s: %s\n“,


//[[multi identifierAtIndex:j] UTF8String],


[[multi labelAtIndex:j] UTF8String],


[[multi valueAtIndex:j] UTF8String]);


}


}


}
