This answer has been updated for Swift 4  amp  5  If you re still using Swift 1  2 or 3 see the revision history   You have a couple of options  You can do as  jaumard suggested and use replacingOccurrences    let aString    This is my string  let newString   aString replacingOccurrences of       with       options   literal  range  nil    And as noted by  cprcrack below  the options and range parameters are optional  so if you don t want to specify string comparison options or a range to do the replacement within  you only need the following   let aString    This is my string  let newString   aString replacingOccurrences of       with         Or  if the data is in a specific format like this  where you re just replacing separation characters  you can use components   to break the string into and array  and then you can use the join   function to put them back to together with a specified separator   let toArray   aString components separatedBy       let backToString   toArray joined separator         Or if you re looking for a more Swifty solution that doesn t utilize API from NSString  you could use this   let aString    Some search text   let replaced   String aString map        0                 0
