Ok, I'll post the actual code that I am using and is giving the problem.
Here it is:
for(NSString *title in oldTasks) {
// Get the moc and prepare a fetch request for the required entity
NSManagedObjectContext *moc = [self managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription
entityForName:@"projects" inManagedObjectContext:moc];
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity:entityDescription];
// Create a predicate for an array of names.
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"title IN
%d", oldTasks];
[request setPredicate:predicate];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]
initWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES];
[request setSortDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]];
// Execute the fetch request put the results into array
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *resultArray = [moc executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
if (resultArray == nil)
{
// Diagnostic error handling
NSAlert *anAlert = [NSAlert alertWithError:error];
[anAlert runModal];
}
JGManagedObject *objectToDelete = [resultArray objectAtIndex:0];
// Delete the object.
[moc deleteObject:objectToDelete];
}

Didn't I answer this on Stack Overflow?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1535778/, even posting a suggested method.
You'd be better off posting the actual code that you've tried that you're
having trouble with. You've already done so in a comment to me.--
