Class: NSMutableCharacterSet
- Inherits:

NSCharacterSet
- Object
- NSObject
- NSCharacterSet
- NSMutableCharacterSet
Overview
The NSMutableCharacterSet class declares the programmatic interface to objects that manage a modifiable set of Unicode characters. You can add or remove characters from a mutable character set as numeric values in NSRange structures or as character values in strings, combine character sets by union or intersection, and invert a character set.
Instance Method Summary (collapse)
-
- addCharactersInRange:
Adds to the receiver the characters whose Unicode values are in a given range.
-
- addCharactersInString:
Adds to the receiver the characters in a given string.
-
- formIntersectionWithCharacterSet:
Modifies the receiver so it contains only characters that exist in both the receiver and otherSet.
-
- formUnionWithCharacterSet:
Modifies the receiver so it contains all characters that exist in either the receiver or otherSet.
-
- invert
Replaces all the characters in the receiver with all the characters it didn’t previously contain.
-
- removeCharactersInRange:
Removes from the receiver the characters whose Unicode values are in a given range.
-
- removeCharactersInString:
Removes from the receiver the characters in a given string.

Instance Method Details
- (Object) addCharactersInRange(aRange)
Adds to the receiver the characters whose Unicode values are in a given range. This code excerpt adds to a character set the lowercase English alphabetic characters:
- (Object) addCharactersInString(aString)
Adds to the receiver the characters in a given string. This method has no effect if aString is empty.
- (Object) formIntersectionWithCharacterSet(otherSet)
Modifies the receiver so it contains only characters that exist in both the receiver and otherSet.
- (Object) formUnionWithCharacterSet(otherSet)
Modifies the receiver so it contains all characters that exist in either the receiver or otherSet.
- (Object) invert
Replaces all the characters in the receiver with all the characters it didn’t previously contain.
Inverting a mutable character set, whether by invert or by invertedSet, is much less efficient than inverting an immutable character set with invertedSet.
- (Object) removeCharactersInRange(aRange)
Removes from the receiver the characters whose Unicode values are in a given range.
- (Object) removeCharactersInString(aString)
Removes from the receiver the characters in a given string. This method has no effect if aString is empty.
