Example :

[attrString beginEditing];
[attrString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor grayColor] range: ]; // how to set range here for alphabets
[attrString endEditing];

You just wanted to make only alphabets as gray color right?.. Am trying to make it dynamic. — Pallavi Konda, Sep 14 '15 at 09:50

Try this.

NSMutableAttributedString *attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"1.2 Sun - 3.4 Mon"];

if([[attrString string] rangeOfString:@"Sun"].location != NSNotFound)
{
     NSRange range2 = [[attrString string] rangeOfString:@"Sun"];

    [attrString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor grayColor] range:range2];
}

if([[attrString string] rangeOfString:@"Mon"].location != NSNotFound)
{
    NSRange range2 = [[attrString string] rangeOfString:@"Mon"];

    [attrString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor grayColor] range:range2];
}

Happy coding :)

This works for static.. you need to hard code "Sun" and "Mon". — Pallavi Konda, Sep 14 '15 at 09:40
