Patterns can be used to replace part of an input string.
The example below replaces the cent symbol with the dollar symbol.
var money = "¢¥€£$¥€£¢"
let pattern = "¢"
do {
let regEx = try NSRegularExpression (pattern: pattern, options: [])
let nsString = money as NSString
let range = NSMakeRange(0, nsString.length)
let correct$ = regEx.stringByReplacingMatches(in: money, options: .withTransparentBounds, range: range, withTemplate: "$")
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Matching failed")
}
//correct$ = "$¥€£$¥€£$"
