Any way to replace characters on Swift String?

Question

I am looking for a way to replace characters in a Swift String.

Example: \"This is my string\"

I would like to replace \" \" with \"+\" to get \

Answer 1

Swift extension:

extension String {

    func stringByReplacing(replaceStrings set: [String], with: String) -> String {
        var stringObject = self
        for string in set {
            stringObject = self.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(string, withString: with)
        }
        return stringObject
    }

}

Go on and use it like let replacedString = yorString.stringByReplacing(replaceStrings: [" ","?","."], with: "+")

The speed of the function is something that i can hardly be proud of, but you can pass an array of String in one pass to make more than one replacement.
