Swift 3.0 beta版官方文档在标题String下为这种情况提供了标准解决方案。UTF16View中的UTF16View元素匹配NSString字符标题

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

       let strString = ((textField.text)! as NSString).stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: string)

 }

你需要使用Range<String。索引>而不是经典的NSRange。我这样做的方式(也许有一个更好的方式)是通过获取字符串的字符串。索引移动它与前进。

我不知道你要替换的范围是什么，但让我们假设你想替换前两个字符。

var start = textField.text.startIndex // Start at the string's start index
var end = advance(textField.text.startIndex, 2) // Take start index and advance 2 characters forward
var range: Range<String.Index> = Range<String.Index>(start: start,end: end)

textField.text.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: string)

在公认的答案中，我发现可选选项很麻烦。这适用于Swift 3，似乎对表情符号没有问题。

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, 
      shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, 
      replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

  guard let value = textField.text else {return false} // there may be a reason for returning true in this case but I can't think of it
  // now value is a String, not an optional String

  let valueAfterChange = (value as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: string)
  // valueAfterChange is a String, not an optional String

  // now do whatever processing is required

  return true  // or false, as required
}

我发现最干净的swift2唯一的解决方案是在NSRange上创建一个类别:

extension NSRange {
    func stringRangeForText(string: String) -> Range<String.Index> {
        let start = string.startIndex.advancedBy(self.location)
        let end = start.advancedBy(self.length)
        return Range<String.Index>(start: start, end: end)
    }
}

然后调用它from for textfield delegate函数:

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    let range = range.stringRangeForText(textField.text)
    let output = textField.text.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: string)

    // your code goes here....

    return true
}

在Swift 2.0中假设func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: string) -> Bool {:

var oldString = textfield.text!
let newRange = oldString.startIndex.advancedBy(range.location)..<oldString.startIndex.advancedBy(range.location + range.length)
let newString = oldString.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(newRange, withString: string)
