NSString *x=@""/Sagar' and 'Samir' ";

" /

'

Intended output

x = (should have) @"and 'Samir'"

So, Ms word give some options in find & replace, using wild card characters. ( just giving example )

Answer 1

I'll assume you're looking for a solution in general -- not for this particular string. You'll want to learn about regular expressions.

For regular expression support in Objective-C check out RegexKitLite. It provides category methods on NSString that support various regex matching and substitution.
