Trim spaces from end of a NSString

Question

I need to remove spaces from the end of a string. How can I do that? Example: if string is \"Hello \" it must become \"Hello\"

Answer 1

To remove whitespace from only the beginning and end of a string in Swift:

Swift 3

string.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)

Previous Swift Versions

string.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet()))

Answer 2

This will remove only the trailing characters of your choice.

func trimRight(theString: String, charSet: NSCharacterSet) -> String {

    var newString = theString

    while String(newString.characters.last).rangeOfCharacterFromSet(charSet) != nil {
        newString = String(newString.characters.dropLast())
    }

    return newString
}
