首先举一个例子：

匹配9-15个由字母/数字组成的字符串的正则表达式：

    nsstring * regex = @"^[a-za-z0-9]{9,15}$";

    nspredicate *pred = [nspredicate predicatewithformat:@"self matches %@", regex];

    bool ismatch = [pred evaluatewithobject:txtfldphonenumber.text];

cocoa用nspredicate描述查询的方式，原理类似于在数据库中进行查询

用between，in，beginwith，endwith，contains，like这些谓词来构造nspredicate，必要的时候使用self直接对自己进行匹配

//基本的查询  

nspredicate *predicate; 

predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name == 'herbie'"]; 

    bool match = [predicate evaluatewithobject: car]; 

    nslog (@"%s", (match) ? "yes" : "no"); 

//在整个cars里面循环比较  

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"engine.horsepower &gt; 150"]; 

    nsarray *cars = [garage cars]; 

    for (car *car in [garage cars]) { 

        if ([predicate evaluatewithobject: car]) { 

            nslog (@"%@", car.name); 

        } 

    } 

//输出完整的信息  

    nsarray *results; 

    results = [cars filteredarrayusingpredicate: predicate]; 

    nslog (@"%@", results); 

//含有变量的谓词  

    nspredicate *predicatetemplate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat:@"name == $name"]; 

    nsdictionary *vardict; 

    vardict = [nsdictionary dictionarywithobjectsandkeys: 

               @"herbie", @"name", nil]; 

    predicate = [predicatetemplate predicatewithsubstitutionvariables: vardict]; 

    nslog(@"snorgle: %@", predicate); 

    match = [predicate evaluatewithobject: car]; 

  nslog (@"%s", (match) ? "yes" : "no"); 

//注意不能使用$variable作为路径名，因为它值代表值  

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: 

                 @"(engine.horsepower &gt; 50) and (engine.horsepower &lt; 200)"]; 

    nslog (@"oop %@", results); 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name &lt; 'newton'"]; 

    nslog (@"%@", [results valueforkey: @"name"]); 

//强大的数组运算符  

                 @"engine.horsepower between { 50, 200 }"]; 

    nsarray *betweens = [nsarray arraywithobjects: 

                         [nsnumber numberwithint: 50], [nsnumber numberwithint: 200], nil]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"engine.horsepower between %@", betweens]; 

    predicatetemplate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"engine.horsepower between $powers"]; 

    vardict = [nsdictionary dictionarywithobjectsandkeys: betweens, @"powers", nil]; 

//in运算符  

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"self.name in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"]; 

    names = [cars valueforkey: @"name"]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"self in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"]; 

    results = [names filteredarrayusingpredicate: predicate];//这里限制了self的范围  

//beginswith,endswith,contains  

//附加符号，[c],[d],[cd],c表示不区分大小写，d表示不区分发音字符，cd表示什么都不区分  

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name beginswith 'bad'"]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name beginswith 'herb'"]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name beginswith[cd] 'herb'"]; 

//like运算符（通配符）  

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name like[cd] '*er*'"]; 

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name like[cd] '???er*'"]; 

//基本的查询

nspredicate *predicate;

predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name == 'herbie'"];

    bool match = [predicate evaluatewithobject: car];

    nslog (@"%s", (match) ? "yes" : "no");

//在整个cars里面循环比较

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"engine.horsepower &gt; 150"];

    nsarray *cars = [garage cars];

    for (car *car in [garage cars]) {

        if ([predicate evaluatewithobject: car]) {

            nslog (@"%@", car.name);

        }

    }

//输出完整的信息

    nsarray *results;

    results = [cars filteredarrayusingpredicate: predicate];

    nslog (@"%@", results);

//含有变量的谓词

    nspredicate *predicatetemplate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat:@"name == $name"];

    nsdictionary *vardict;

    vardict = [nsdictionary dictionarywithobjectsandkeys:

    predicate = [predicatetemplate predicatewithsubstitutionvariables: vardict];

    nslog(@"snorgle: %@", predicate);

    match = [predicate evaluatewithobject: car];

  nslog (@"%s", (match) ? "yes" : "no");

//注意不能使用$variable作为路径名，因为它值代表值

//谓词字符窜还支持c语言中一些常用的运算符

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat:

                 @"(engine.horsepower &gt; 50) and (engine.horsepower &lt; 200)"];

    nslog (@"oop %@", results);

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name &lt; 'newton'"];

    nslog (@"%@", [results valueforkey: @"name"]);

//强大的数组运算符

                 @"engine.horsepower between { 50, 200 }"];

//in运算符

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"name in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"];

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"self.name in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"];

    names = [cars valueforkey: @"name"];

    predicate = [nspredicate predicatewithformat: @"self in { 'herbie', 'snugs', 'badger', 'flap' }"];
