How to remove multiple spaces in Strings with Swift 2

Question

Until Swift 2 I used this extension to remove multiple whitespaces:

func condenseWhitespace() -> String {
        let components = self.componentsSeparatedByC         


        

Answer 1

var str = "Hello  World.\nHello!"

if let regex = try? NSRegularExpression(pattern: "\\s+", options:NSRegularExpression.Options.caseInsensitive)
{
    str = regex.stringByReplacingMatches(in: str, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, str.count), withTemplate: " ")

}
