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

Swift version

Only trims spaces at the end of the String:

private func removingSpacesAtTheEndOfAString(var str: String) -> String {
    var i: Int = countElements(str) - 1, j: Int = i

    while(i >= 0 && str[advance(str.startIndex, i)] == " ") {
        --i
    }

    return str.substringWithRange(Range(start: str.startIndex, end: advance(str.endIndex, -(j - i))))
}

Trims spaces on both sides of the String:

var str: String = " Yolo "
var trimmedStr: String = str.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet())
