你可以在我写的Swift String扩展https://bit.ly/JString中使用trim()方法。

var string = "hello  "
var trimmed = string.trim()
println(trimmed)// "hello"

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

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)

在Swift3 XCode 8 Final中

注意CharacterSet。空格不再是函数了!

(NSCharacterSet.whitespaces也不是)

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

//Swift 4.0删除空格和新行

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

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
