SwiftRegex is a simple wrapper around NSRegularExpression to simplify the usage of regular expression in Swift.
Installation can be done via Swift Package Manager or by dragging Sources/SwiftRegex into your project.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/flowbe/SwiftRegex.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "1.0.0"))
]if let regex = Regex(pattern: #"\b(a|b)(c|d)\b"#, options: .caseInsensitive) {
print(regex.numberOfMatches(in: "Ad eternam")) // Prints 1
} else {
// The regular expression pattern is invalid.
}The wrapper contains almost the same methods as NSRegularExpression but you don't need to manipulate inconvenient NSRange or NSTextCheckingResult. It also adds a split method.
