You could use the method
- (NSString *)stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:(NSString *)target
withString:(NSString *)replacement
…to get a new string with a substring replaced (See NSString
documentation for others)
Example use
NSString *str = @"This is a string";
str = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"string"
withString:@"duck"];
