Example of [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange].

You can make your character sets as follows for arbitrary ranges of ASCII characters:

NSCharacterSet *a_to_d_Set = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange:NSMakeRange('a', 'd'-'a' + 1)];
NSCharacterSet *e_to_l_Set = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange:NSMakeRange('e', 'l'-'e' + 1)];
Of course, you could equivalently write:

NSCharacterSet *a_to_d_Set = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange:NSMakeRange('a', 4)];

This method is Unicode-aware. If by "Upper case charecter" you just mean A-Z, use

NSCharacterSet* uppercaseCharSet =
    [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange:NSMakeRange('A', 26)];
