I'm trying to modify an NSString
while iterating NSTextCheckingResults
from an NSRegularExpression
.
I know that it won't work the way I implemented it as every replacement changes the length of the string an so the validity of the NSRages in my loop.
How can I replace multiple matches in a for loop? Here is my code:
NSMutableString *string = [@"[H]…[mm]…[s]" mutableCopy];
NSReguralExpression *exp = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(\\[[Hms]{1,2}\\])" options:0 error:nil];
for (NSTextCheckingResult *result in [exp matchesInString:string options:NSMatchingReportCompletion range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])]) {
[string replaceCharactersInRange:[result rangeAtIndex:0] withString:@"#"];
}
I'm a bit stuck right now. None of the approaches I thought of seemed to be functional.
