另一种方法是，如果你想使用带有预定义文本的字符串变量，

var textFieldData:String = "John"
myTextField.text = NSString(format: "Hello User, \n %@",textFieldData) as String
myTextField.numberOfLines = 0

Swift 4通过提供多行字符串文字支持解决了这个问题。要开始字符串字面量，添加三个双引号(" " " ")并按回车键，按回车键后开始写带有任何变量的字符串，换行符和双引号，就像你在记事本或任何文本编辑器中写的那样。要结束多行字符串文字再次写入(" " ")在新行。

参见下面的例子

     let multiLineStringLiteral = """
    This is one of the best feature add in Swift 4
    It let’s you write “Double Quotes” without any escaping
    and new lines without need of “\n”
    """

print(multiLineStringLiteral)

下面是一个代码片段，用n个字符分隔字符串:

//: A UIKit based Playground for presenting user interface

import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport

class MyViewController : UIViewController {
    override func loadView() {

        let str = String(charsPerLine: 5, "Hello World!")
        print(str) // "Hello\n Worl\nd!\n"

    }
}

extension String {

    init(charsPerLine:Int, _ str:String){

        self = ""
        var idx = 0
        for char in str {
            self += "\(char)"
            idx = idx + 1
            if idx == charsPerLine {
                self += "\n"
                idx = 0
            }
        }

    }
}

我在String上使用了一个扩展来实现多行字符串，同时避免编译器挂起的错误。它还允许您指定分隔符，以便您可以像使用Python的join函数一样使用它

extension String {
    init(sep:String, _ lines:String...){
        self = ""
        for (idx, item) in lines.enumerated() {
            self += "\(item)"
            if idx < lines.count-1 {
                self += sep
            }
        }
    }

    init(_ lines:String...){
        self = ""
        for (idx, item) in lines.enumerated() {
            self += "\(item)"
            if idx < lines.count-1 {
                self += "\n"
            }
        }
    }
}



print(
    String(
        "Hello",
        "World!"
    )
)
"Hello
World!"

print(
    String(sep:", ",
        "Hello",
        "World!"
    )
)
"Hello, World!"

加上@Connor的回答，也需要有\n。以下是修改后的代码:

var text:String = "This is some text \n" +
                  "over multiple lines"

正如litso所指出的，在一个表达式中重复使用+-操作符会导致Xcode Beta挂起(刚刚用Xcode 6 Beta 5检查过):Xcode 6 Beta无法编译

目前，多行字符串的另一种替代方法是使用一个字符串数组，并将其压缩为+:

var text = ["This is some text ",
            "over multiple lines"].reduce("", +)

或者，可以更简单地使用join:

var text = "".join(["This is some text ",
                    "over multiple lines"])
