I have this plist. Once I get the value of "BMWM6", how I know the other value in the same dictionary in the array? Could you give some help for me? Thanks in advance. It is like that: I know the BMWM6 this value, so I want to know the other key value like Engine/Dealers/Phone and so on.

NSArray *carArray = [plistArray objectAtIndex:0];
    NSDictionary *resultDict;
    for (NSDictionary *dictionary in carArray) {
        NSString *userName = [dictionary objectForKey:@"UserName"];
        if ([userName isEqualToString:carName]) {
            resultDict = dictionary;
            break;
        }
    }

From harakiri, I use this and get the answer.

Assuming plistArray is your plist content:

NSString *username = @"BMWM6";
NSPredicate *pre = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"UserName = %@", username];
NSDictionary *resultDict = [[plistArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:pre] lastObject];

// now you have the dictionary
// dealer:
NSString *dealers = [resultDict objectForKey:@"Dealers"];
NSLog(@"dealers: %@", dealers);
