How to Match with Regex

Use Swift Regex for pattern matching.

Steps

  1. Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
  2. Run it once to verify the output.
  3. Adjust the inputs to match your use case.

Copy and paste

import Foundation

let text = "Order #1234"
let regex = /#(d+)/

if let match = text.firstMatch(of: regex) {
    print(match.1)
}

Notes

  • Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
  • Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
