Answer 1

You could first remove from the beginning and then from the end like so:

while true {
if sentence.characters.first == "\r\n" || sentence.characters.first == "\n" {
    sentence.removeAtIndex(sentence.startIndex)
} else {
    break
}
}

while true {
if sentence.characters.last == "\r\n" || sentence.characters.last == "\n" {
    sentence.removeAtIndex(sentence.endIndex.predecessor())
} else {
    break
}
}
