Get String from NSMutableString in swift

Question

What's the proper way of getting a String from a NSMutableString? I am currently using:

var mutableString = NSMutableString(string: string)
var string = mutableString.substring(from: 0)

which seems a bit hackish...

Thanks

Just cast the NSMutableString as String:

var mutableString = NSMutableString(string: "Example")
var string = String(mutableString)

Or:

var mutableString = NSMutableString(string: "Example")
var string = mutableString as String
