借鉴Rob Napier的经验，我开发了这些常见的字符串扩展，其中两个是:

subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String
{
    get {
        let startIndex = advance(self.startIndex, r.startIndex)
        let endIndex = advance(self.startIndex, r.endIndex - 1)

        return self[Range(start: startIndex, end: endIndex)]
    }
}

func subString(startIndex: Int, length: Int) -> String
{
    var start = advance(self.startIndex, startIndex)
    var end = advance(self.startIndex, startIndex + length)
    return self.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: start, end: end))
}

用法:

"Awesome"[3...7] //"some"
"Awesome".subString(3, length: 4) //"some"

如何在Swift 2.0中获取子字符串的示例代码

(i)起始索引的子字符串

输入:-

var str = "Swift is very powerful language!"
print(str)

str = str.substringToIndex(str.startIndex.advancedBy(5))
print(str)

输出:

Swift is very powerful language!
Swift

(ii)特定索引的子字符串

输入:-

var str = "Swift is very powerful language!"
print(str)

str = str.substringFromIndex(str.startIndex.advancedBy(6)).substringToIndex(str.startIndex.advancedBy(2))
print(str)

输出:

Swift is very powerful language!
is

希望对你有所帮助!

在新的Xcode 7.0中使用

//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play

import UIKit

var name = "How do you use String.substringWithRange?"
let range = name.startIndex.advancedBy(0)..<name.startIndex.advancedBy(10)
name.substringWithRange(range)

//OUT:

如果你不关心性能……这可能是Swift 4中最简洁的解决方案

extension String {
    subscript(range: CountableClosedRange<Int>) -> String {
        return enumerated().filter{$0.offset >= range.first! && $0.offset < range.last!}
            .reduce(""){$0 + String($1.element)}
    }
}

它可以让你做这样的事情:

let myStr = "abcd"
myStr[0..<2] // produces "ab"

您可以使用这些扩展来改进substringWithRange

斯威夫特2.3

extension String
{   
    func substringWithRange(start: Int, end: Int) -> String
    {
        if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
        {
            print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count
        {
            print("end index \(end) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(end))
        return self.substringWithRange(range)
    }

    func substringWithRange(start: Int, location: Int) -> String
    {
        if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
        {
            print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count
        {
            print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start + location))
        return self.substringWithRange(range)
    }
}

extension String
{
    func substring(start: Int, end: Int) -> String
    {
        if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
        {
            print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count
        {
            print("end index \(end) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start)
        let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: end)
        let range = startIndex..<endIndex

        return self.substring(with: range)
    }

    func substring(start: Int, location: Int) -> String
    {
        if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
        {
            print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count
        {
            print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds")
            return ""
        }
        let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start)
        let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start + location)
        let range = startIndex..<endIndex

        return self.substring(with: range)
    }
}

用法:

let str = "Hello, playground"

let substring1 = str.substringWithRange(0, end: 5) //Hello
let substring2 = str.substringWithRange(7, location: 10) //playground

由于String是NSString的桥接类型，“旧的”方法应该可以工作，但不清楚如何工作-例如，这也不起作用(似乎不是有效的语法): let x = str.substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(0,3))

对我来说，这是你问题中真正有趣的部分。String被桥接到NSString，所以大多数NSString方法直接作用于String。你可以自由地使用它们，不需要思考。例如，这正如你所期望的那样:

// delete all spaces from Swift String stateName
stateName = stateName.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString:"")

But, as so often happens, "I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you." You just happened to pick one of the rare cases where a parallel identically named Swift method exists, and in a case like that, the Swift method overshadows the Objective-C method. Thus, when you say str.substringWithRange, Swift thinks you mean the Swift method rather than the NSString method — and then you are hosed, because the Swift method expects a Range<String.Index>, and you don't know how to make one of those.

最简单的办法就是阻止霉霉这样做，明确地说:

let x = (str as NSString).substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(0, 3))

注意，这里没有涉及到重大的额外工作。“转换”并不意味着“转换”;String实际上是一个NSString。我们只是告诉Swift为了这一行代码的目的如何看待这个变量。

整个事情中真正奇怪的部分是导致所有这些麻烦的Swift方法是没有记录的。我不知道它的定义是什么;它不在NSString头文件中也不在Swift头文件中。
