Replace multiple characters in a string in Objective-C?

by

A somewhat inefficient way of doing this:

NSString *s = @"foo/bar:baz.foo";
NSCharacterSet *doNotWant = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"/:."];
s = [[s componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet: doNotWant] componentsJoinedByString: @""];
NSLog(@"%@", s); // => foobarbazfoo

Look at NSScanner and -[NSString rangeOfCharacterFromSet: ...] if you want to do this a bit more efficiently.
