you didn't specify on what condition you are going to iterate contacts..

just check using if () before adding curContact dictionay to contactsToBeAdded array

if([firstName hasPrefix:@"A"])

{


NSDictionary *curContact=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:(NSString *)firstName,@"firstName",lastName,@"lastName",organization,@"organization",nil];

[contactsToBeAdded addObject:curContact];

}

i think this will help..!!
