I found this link that helped me use the basic data:
http://iphoneinaction.manning.com/iphone_in_action/2009/09/core-data-part-3-retrieving-data.html
Passing an entity to an array, combining an array and NSLog data for each result. For instance:.
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"news"
inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"url=%@",theUrl];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSError *error;
NSArray *items = [self.managedObjectContext
executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
for (news *theNews in items) {
NSLog(@"Title: %@, Date: %@, News: %@", [theNews title], [theNews date], [theNews news]);
}
[fetchRequest release];
