I have a NSMutableAttributedString and want to convert it back into a simple String.

var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hello w0rld")

How can I get just the String out of a NSMutableAttributedString the easiest?

Use the string property on NSMutableAttributedString:

var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hello, world!")
var s = attributedString.string
