我创建了这个函数，允许输入字符串并返回由任意字符修剪的字符串列表

 func Trim(input:String, character:Character)-> [String]
{
    var collection:[String] = [String]()
    var index  = 0
    var copy = input
    let iterable = input
    var trim = input.startIndex.advancedBy(index)

    for i in iterable.characters

    {
        if (i == character)
        {

            trim = input.startIndex.advancedBy(index)
            // apennding to the list
            collection.append(copy.substringToIndex(trim))

            //cut the input
            index += 1
            trim = input.startIndex.advancedBy(index)
            copy = copy.substringFromIndex(trim)

            index = 0
        }
        else
        {
            index += 1
        }
    }
    collection.append(copy)
    return collection

}

As在swift中没有找到这样做的方法(在swift 2.0中编译和工作完美)

**Swift 5**

extension String {

    func trimAllSpace() -> String {
         return components(separatedBy: .whitespacesAndNewlines).joined()
    }
    
    func trimSpace() -> String {
        return self.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
    }
}

**Use:**
let result = " abc ".trimAllSpace()
// result == "abc"
let ex = " abc cd  ".trimSpace()
// ex == "abc cd"

是的，你可以这样做:

var str = "  this is the answer   "
str = str.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines)
print(srt) // "this is the answer"

CharacterSet实际上是一个非常强大的工具，用于创建修剪规则，比. whitespacesandnewlines等预定义集更灵活。

例如:

var str = " Hello World !"
let cs = CharacterSet.init(charactersIn: " !")
str = str.trimmingCharacters(in: cs)
print(str) // "Hello World"

extension String {
    /// EZSE: Trims white space and new line characters
    public mutating func trim() {
         self = self.trimmed()
    }

    /// EZSE: Trims white space and new line characters, returns a new string
    public func trimmed() -> String {
        return self.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet())
    }
}

从我的这个回购:https://github.com/goktugyil/EZSwiftExtensions/commit/609fce34a41f98733f97dfd7b4c23b5d16416206

另一种类似的方式:

extension String {
    var trimmed:String {
        return self.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespaces)
    }
}

使用:

let trimmedString = "myString ".trimmed

把这段代码放在你项目的一个文件中，比如Utils.swift:

extension String {   
    func trim() -> String {
        return self.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet())
    }
}

所以你可以这样做:

let result = " abc ".trim()
// result == "abc"

Swift 3.0解决方案

extension String {   
    func trim() -> String {
    return self.trimmingCharacters(in: NSCharacterSet.whitespaces)
   }
}

所以你可以这样做:

let result = " Hello World ".trim()
// result = "HelloWorld"
