How to remove numbers from a string in Swift

Question

I have a string like "75003 Paris, France" or "Syracuse, NY 13205, USA" .

I want to use the same code to remove all these numbers from these lines.

How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do it with NSCharacterSet

 var str = "75003 Paris, France" var stringWithoutDigit = (str.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.decimalDigitCharacterSet()) as NSArray).componentsJoinedByString("") println(stringWithoutDigit) 

Output:

 Paris, France
