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"

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)

将字符串截断为特定长度

如果你已经输入了一段句子/文本，你想只保存指定长度的文本。将以下扩展添加到类中

extension String {

   func trunc(_ length: Int) -> String {
    if self.characters.count > length {
        return self.substring(to: self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: length))
    } else {
        return self
    }
  }

  func trim() -> String{
     return self.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines)
   }

}

Use

var str = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry."
//str is length 74
print(str)
//O/P:  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

str = str.trunc(40)
print(str)
//O/P: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the 

Swift 5和4.2

let trimmedString = " abc ".trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
 //trimmedString == "abc"

不要忘记导入Foundation或UIKit。

import Foundation
let trimmedString = "   aaa  "".trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
print(trimmedString)

结果:

"aaa"

否则你会得到:

error: value of type 'String' has no member 'trimmingCharacters'
    return self.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)

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"
