        if subString == " " && textField == cardNumberTextfield
        {
            return false     // user should not be able to delete space from card field
        }
        else if string == ""
        {
            return true      // user can delete any digit
        }


        // Expiry date formatting

        if textField == expiryDateTextfield
        {
            let str = textField.text! + string

            if str.length == 2 && Int(str) > 12
            {
                return false                  // Month should be <= 12
            }
            else if str.length == 2
            {
                textField.text = str+"/"      // append / after month
                return false
            }
            else if str.length > 5
            {
                return false                  // year should be in yy format
            }
        }



        // Card number formatting

        if textField == cardNumberTextfield
        {
            let str = textField.text! + string

            let stringWithoutSpace = str.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString: "")

            if stringWithoutSpace.length % 4 == 0 && (range.location == textField.text?.length)
            {
                if stringWithoutSpace.length != 16
                {
                    textField.text = str+" "    // add space after every 4 characters
                }
                else
                {
                    textField.text = str       // space should not be appended with last digit
                }

                return false
            }
            else if str.length > 19
            {
                return false
            }
        }
