I just downloaded the XCode 7 GM seed. It complains about the join method on String. How do I use joinWithSeparator instead of join?
//1
// Create an `NSCharacterSet` set which includes everything *but* the digits
let inverseSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString:"0123456789").invertedSet
//2
// At every character in this "inverseSet" contained in the string,
// split the string up into components which exclude the characters
// in this inverse set
let components = string.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(inverseSet)
//3
// Rejoin these components
let filtered = "".join(components)
Soon after I figured it out, in case you are stuck on the same problem.
replace 3rd step with the line below
let filtered = components.joinWithSeparator("")
