Yes, it is super handy, but as far as I searched there was no way at least
until 10.6.x … there might be changes in 10.7, but I didn't know

In my SuperClass all classes needed this (and many, many more) I implemented
(but probably not highly optimized!)
- (id)valueForUndefinedKey:(NSString *)key
{
if ([key rangeOfString:@"#"].location != NSNotFound) {
// hack for using array operators in binding!
NSArray *keyArray = [key componentsSeparatedByString:@"#"];
NSString *arrayKey = [keyArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pathKey = [keyArray objectAtIndex:1];
arrayKey = [arrayKey stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"#"
withString:@""];
pathKey = [pathKey stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@":"
withString:@"."];
pathKey = [@"@" stringByAppendingString:pathKey];
NSArray *resultList = [self valueForKey:arrayKey];
id result = [resultList valueForKeyPath:pathKey];
return result;
}
if ([key rangeOfString:@"_"].location != NSNotFound) {
// hack for using a "objectAtIndex" notation in KVC
NSArray *keyArray = [key componentsSeparatedByString:@"_"];
NSString *arrayKey = [keyArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *indexKey = [keyArray objectAtIndex:1];
NSArray *resultList = [self valueForKey:arrayKey];
if ([resultList count] <= [indexKey intValue])
return nil;
id result = [resultList objectAtIndex:[indexKey intValue]];
return result;
}
…..
}
The first ones allow
positions.#sum.internalCostNettoTotals
AFAIR I choose the "#" instead of "@" due to some parsing issues
The second allow me something like
producer_0.area_0.vineyards_2.idname
