For this purposes you can use standard class NSRegularExpression

NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression 
       regularExpressionWithPattern:@"\w[!@#$%^&*()_+-={}\[\]:\"|;'\<>?,./]"
                            options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
                              error:&error];

NSUInteger numberOfMatches = [regex numberOfMatchesInString:string
                                                     options:0
                                                       range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];

Note that NSRegularExpression is only available on iOS 4 and above.
