Question

I want to replace a list of characters from my NSString and I do not want to use – (NSString *)stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:(NSString *)target withString:(NSString *)replacement method multiple times. Is there any quick fix for this.

Answer 1

This is what I use to get rid of any numbers from a string. It may not be the most efficient solution but it is the shortest.

 NSString* s = @"String to be fixed 3423";        
 NSCharacterSet* charSet = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"0123456789"];
 s = [[s componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:charSet] componentsJoinedByString:@""];
