NSArray with NSPredicate using NOT IN
IosObjective CNsarrayNspredicateIos Problem Overview
I have an NSArray that I want to filter out certain objects using an NSPredicate, I was hoping I could use NOT IN since I saw that I can easily do an IN.
So I have my array:
self.categoriesList
Then I get the values I want to remove:
NSArray *parentIDs = [self.cateoriesList valueForKeyPath:@"@distinctUnionOfObjects.ParentCategoryID"];
This gives me a list of ParentCategoryID's for categories I DO NOT want to display, so I figure I can use an NSPredicate to remove them:
self.cateoriesList = [self.cateoriesList filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"CategoryID NOT IN %@",parentIDs]];
This fails:
reason: 'Unable to parse the format string "CategoryID NOT IN %@"'
If I wanted to use just IN that works perfectly of course.

Solution 1 - Ios
What about NOT (CategoryID IN %@)
?
Solution 2 - Ios
How about using NONE
?
[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"NONE CategoryID IN %@", parentIDs];
