你也可以在Swift 4中使用NotificationCenter来做到这一点

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.handleTextChange(recognizer:)), name: NSNotification.Name.UITextFieldTextDidChange, object: yourTextField)

    @objc func handleTextChange(recognizer: NSNotification) {
            //max length is 50 charater max
            let textField = recognizer.object as! UITextField

            if((textField.text?.count)! > 50) {
                let newString: String? = (textField.text as NSString?)?.substring(to: 50)
                textField.text = newString

            }         
        }

稍微超出了回答原来的问题，并扩展了Frouo的答案，这里有扩展来修剪空白字符串和最大长度，并利用这些字符串扩展来修剪UITextField到最大长度:

// In String_Extensions.swift

extension String {

  func trimmedString() -> String {
    var trimmedString = self.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet())
    let components = trimmedString.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet()).filter { count($0) > 0 }
    return " ".join(components)
  }

  func trimmedStringToMaxLength(maxLength: Int) -> String {
    return trimmedString().substringToIndex(advance(startIndex, min(count(self), maxLength))).trimmedString()
  }

}

// In UITextField_Extensions.swift

private var maxLengthDictionary = [UITextField : Int]()
private var textFieldMaxLength = 20

extension UITextField {

  @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
    get {
      if let maxLength = maxLengthDictionary[self] {
        return maxLength
      } else {
        return textFieldMaxLength
      }
    }
    set {
      maxLengthDictionary[self] = newValue < textFieldMaxLength + 1 ? newValue : textFieldMaxLength
    }
  }

  func trimAndLimitToMaxLength() {
    text = text.trimmedStringToMaxLength(maxLength)
  }

}

let someTextField = UITextField()
let someString = "   This   is   a   string   that   is longer than allowable for a text field.   "
someTextField.text = someString
someTextField.trimAndLimitToMaxLength()
println(someTextField.text) // Prints "This is a string tha"
let anotherTextField = UITextField()
anotherTextField.maxLength = 5
anotherTextField.text = someString
anotherTextField.trimAndLimitToMaxLength()
println(anotherTextField.text) // Prints "This"

trimAndLimitToMaxLength() could be used in UITextFieldDelegate's textFieldDidEndEditing(_:) so that a user could enter or paste in a longer than acceptable string and then shorten it vs. just cutting off the input at the max length. In doing this, I would also set attributed text styles to indicate any portion of the text that goes beyond the acceptable length (e.g., [NSBackgroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.redColor(), NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.whiteColor(), NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName : NSNumber(int: 1)]

快速2.0 +

首先，为这个过程创建一个类。我们称之为StringValidator.swift。

然后把下面的代码粘贴进去。

import Foundation

extension String {

func containsCharactersIn(matchCharacters: String) -> Bool {
let characterSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: matchCharacters)
return self.rangeOfCharacterFromSet(characterSet) != nil
}

func containsOnlyCharactersIn(matchCharacters: String) -> Bool {
let disallowedCharacterSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: matchCharacters).invertedSet
return self.rangeOfCharacterFromSet(disallowedCharacterSet) == nil
}


func doesNotContainCharactersIn(matchCharacters: String) -> Bool {
let characterSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: matchCharacters)
return self.rangeOfCharacterFromSet(characterSet) == nil
}

func isNumeric() -> Bool
{
let scanner = NSScanner(string: self)
scanner.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()

return scanner.scanDecimal(nil) && scanner.atEnd
}

}

现在保存类.....

使用. .

现在转到你的viewController.swift类，并将你的文本字段的outlet设为..

@IBOutlet weak var contactEntryTxtFld: UITextField! //First textfield
@IBOutlet weak var contactEntryTxtFld2: UITextField!   //Second textfield

现在转到textfield的shouldChangeCharactersInRange方法，像下面这样使用。

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    if string.characters.count == 0 {
        return true
    }
    let latestText = textField.text ?? ""
    let checkAbleText = (latestText as NSString).stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: string)


    switch textField {

    case contactEntryTxtFld:
        return checkAbleText.containsOnlyCharactersIn("0123456789") && prospectiveText.characters.count <= 5

    case contactEntryTxtFld2:
        return checkAbleText.containsOnlyCharactersIn("0123456789") && prospectiveText.characters.count <= 5

    default:
        return true
    }

}

不要忘记设置文本字段的委托协议/方法。

让我来解释一下……我正在使用我在另一个类中写的字符串的简单扩展过程。现在我只是调用那些扩展方法从另一个类，我需要他们通过添加检查和最大值。

功能……

它将设置特定文本字段的最大限制。 它将为特定文本字段设置接受的键的类型。

类型……

containsOnlyCharactersIn //只接受字符。

containsCharactersIn //接受字符组合

doesNotContainsCharactersIn //不接受字符

希望这对你有所帮助.... 谢谢. .

-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    if (textField.text.length >= 50) {
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

现在你想要多少字符，只要给值就行了

 - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range   replacementString:(NSString *)string {
     NSUInteger newLength = [textField.text length] + [string length] - range.length;
     return (newLength > 25) ? NO : YES;
  }

其他答案不处理用户可以从剪贴板粘贴长字符串的情况。如果我粘贴一个很长的字符串，它应该被截断，但显示出来。 在你的委托中使用这个:

static const NSUInteger maxNoOfCharacters = 5;

-(IBAction)textdidChange:(UITextField * )textField
{
NSString * text = textField.text;

if(text.length > maxNoOfCharacters)
{
    text = [text substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, maxNoOfCharacters)];
    textField.text = text;
}

// use 'text'

}
