What's wrong with doing e.g.
NSMutableString *myString = [NSMutableString
stringWithUTF8String:"hello"];
NSRange rangeOfCharacter = NSMakeRange(0,1);
[myString
replaceCharactersInRange:rangeOfCharacter
withString:[[myString substringWithRange:rangeOfCharacter]
uppercaseString]];
I suppose you might argue that this kind of thing is overkill when you
just want to change a single character, *but* unlike most methods that
deal with individual characters, it'll still work for strings
containing unusual or even composed characters, even where the length
of the uppercase version differs from the original version. (That is,
provided you use an appropriate range.)
If you use code like that a lot, it might be worth wrapping it up in a
method and putting the method in a category on NSMutableString.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
