Replacing one character in a string in Objective-C

by

If it is always the same character you can use:

stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:

If it is the same string in the same location you can use:

stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:

If is just a specific location you can use:

stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:withString:

Documentation here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsstring

So for example:

NSString *someText = @"Goat";
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0,1);
NSString *newText = [someText stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:@"B"];

newText would equal “Boat”
