Remove all but numbers from NSString

by

Old question, but how about:

  NSString *newString = [[origString componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:
                [[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet] invertedSet]] 
                componentsJoinedByString:@""];

It explodes the source string on the set of non-digits, then reassembles them using an empty string separator. Not as efficient as picking through characters, but much more compact in code.
