使用正则表达式的最佳情况:

" this is    wrong contained teee xt     "
    .replacingOccurrences(of: "^\\s+|\\s+|\\s+$", 
                          with: "", 
                          options: .regularExpression)

// thisiswrongcontainedteeext

我会使用这个扩展，以灵活和模仿其他集合如何做到这一点:

extension String {
    func filter(pred: Character -> Bool) -> String {
        var res = String()
        for c in self.characters {
            if pred(c) {
                res.append(c)
            }
        }
        return res
    }
}

"this is a String".filter { $0 != Character(" ") } // "thisisaString"

extension String {

    var removingWhitespaceAndNewLines: String {
        return removing(.whitespacesAndNewlines)
    }

    func removing(_ forbiddenCharacters: CharacterSet) -> String {
        return String(unicodeScalars.filter({ !forbiddenCharacters.contains($0) }))
    }
}

删除开头和结尾的空格:

let trimmedString = string.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet())

Swift 3 / Swift 4:

let trimmedString = string.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)

你可以简单地使用这个方法删除字符串中的所有普通空格(不考虑所有类型的空白):

let myString = " Hello World ! "
let formattedString = myString.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")

结果将是:

HelloWorld!

当你想要删除所有类型的空白时(基于这个SO答案)的正确方法是:

extension String {
    var stringByRemovingWhitespaces: String {
        let components = componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(.whitespaceCharacterSet())
        return components.joinWithSeparator("")
    }
}

Swift 3.0+ (3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0)

extension String {
    func removingWhitespaces() -> String {
        return components(separatedBy: .whitespaces).joined()
    }
}

EDIT

这个答案是在问题是关于删除所有空白时发布的，问题被编辑为只提到前导空白。如果你只想删除前导空白，请使用以下方法:

extension String {
    func removingLeadingSpaces() -> String {
        guard let index = firstIndex(where: { !CharacterSet(charactersIn: String($0)).isSubset(of: .whitespaces) }) else {
            return self
        }
        return String(self[index...])
    }
}
