Single specific string replace method Objective C

Question

Hi guys,

I wanted to know if theres a single method or way that will help me replace strings for specific characters.

like MALE - M FEMALE - F CHILD - P

The longer way out is this..

[str stringByreplacingOccurencesOfString:@"MALE" withString:@"M"];
[str stringByreplacingOccurencesOfString:@"FEMALE" withString:@"F"];
[str stringByreplacingOccurencesOfString:@"CHILD" withString:@"P"];

I was wondering if theres another way in which i can reduce lines of code here, specially when there are alots of things to replace.

thanks.

No, but it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to write a method that takes an array or varargs to do it for you.
