How to get text and trim it from a link?

Question

Suppose I have:

"<p>I need <a href='www.alink.com'> www.alink.com / x /y </a>, along with this. </p>"

I want to get the text : I need www.alink.com/x/y, along with this.

I tried removing html by:

someString?.replacingOccurrences(of: "<[^>]+>", with: "", options: .regularExpression, range: nil)

then I get: I need www.alink.com / x / y, along with this.

I need the link text without the space, how can I do that?

How is this different from the question you asked 2 hours ago? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56051722/extract-link-from-href-in-swift — Joakim Danielson, May 09 '19 at 06:15
This got text back and front, which I am struggling to concatenate. — Arafin Russell, May 09 '19 at 06:17

Try to replace the whitespace and the next coming character with only the character.

ans="Hello i am goutham /t /n /m"
ans.replace(" /", "/")

which gives:

'Hello i am goutham/t/n/m'
