The word range lookup used
NSString
enumeration was a bit awkward to use. Its procedural nature to 'stop' and set captured variables outside of its context made it hard to follow.During this refactoring, it turned out that, nlike
NSString.rangeOfCharacter(...)
,enumerateSubstrings
correctly handles Emoji. So it comes with a lot for free.I couldn't get
rangeOfCharacter
forCharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines.inverted
to not halt at Emoji. (Could be because some Emoji use 'joiners' which are detected as whitespace because therangeOfCharacter
method doesn't respect composed character sequences?)I could get a custom character iterator to work, though.
