import UIKit

var str1 = "Hello, playground"
str1.removeLast()
print(str1)

var str2 = "Hello, playground"
str2.removeLast(3)
print(str2)

var str3 = "Hello, playground"
str3.removeFirst(2)
print(str3)

Output:-
Hello, playgroun
Hello, playgro
llo, playground

斯威夫特4/5

var str = "bla"
str.removeLast() // returns "a"; str is now "bl"

Swift 4.0(也叫Swift 5.0)

var str = "Hello, World"                           // "Hello, World"
str.dropLast()                                     // "Hello, Worl" (non-modifying)
str                                                // "Hello, World"
String(str.dropLast())                             // "Hello, Worl"

str.remove(at: str.index(before: str.endIndex))    // "d"
str                                                // "Hello, Worl" (modifying)

api变得更加敏捷了，因此Foundation扩展也做了一些改变:

var name: String = "Dolphin"
var truncated = name.substring(to: name.index(before: name.endIndex))
print(name)      // "Dolphin"
print(truncated) // "Dolphi"

或者就地版本:

var name: String = "Dolphin"
name.remove(at: name.index(before: name.endIndex))
print(name)      // "Dolphi"

谢谢Zmey, Rob Allen!

Swift 2.0+方式

有几种方法可以做到这一点:

通过Foundation扩展，尽管不是Swift库的一部分:

var name: String = "Dolphin"
var truncated = name.substringToIndex(name.endIndex.predecessor())
print(name)      // "Dolphin"
print(truncated) // "Dolphi"

使用removeRange()方法(改变名称):

var name: String = "Dolphin"    
name.removeAtIndex(name.endIndex.predecessor())
print(name) // "Dolphi"

使用dropLast()函数:

var name: String = "Dolphin"
var truncated = String(name.characters.dropLast())
print(name)      // "Dolphin"
print(truncated) // "Dolphi"

旧的字符串。索引(Xcode 6 Beta 4 +)方式

由于Swift中的字符串类型旨在提供出色的UTF-8支持，您不能再使用Int类型访问字符索引/范围/子字符串。相反，您使用String。指数:

let name: String = "Dolphin"
let stringLength = count(name) // Since swift1.2 `countElements` became `count`
let substringIndex = stringLength - 1
name.substringToIndex(advance(name.startIndex, substringIndex)) // "Dolphi"

或者(对于一个更实用，但教育意义更小的例子)，你可以使用endIndex:

let name: String = "Dolphin"
name.substringToIndex(name.endIndex.predecessor()) // "Dolphi"

注意:我发现这是理解String的一个很好的起点。指数

旧(pre-Beta 4)方式

你可以简单地使用substringToIndex()函数，提供它比String的长度小1:

let name: String = "Dolphin"
name.substringToIndex(countElements(name) - 1) // "Dolphi"

补充上述代码，我想删除字符串的开头，但在任何地方都找不到引用。以下是我的做法:

var mac = peripheral.identifier.description
let range = mac.startIndex..<mac.endIndex.advancedBy(-50)
mac.removeRange(range)  // trim 17 characters from the beginning
let txPower = peripheral.advertisements.txPower?.description

这将从字符串的开头修剪17个字符(字符串的总长度是67，从末尾向前移动-50，就得到了它。

var str = "Hello, playground"

extension String {
    var stringByDeletingLastCharacter: String {
        return dropLast(self)
    }
}

println(str.stringByDeletingLastCharacter)   // "Hello, playgroun"

斯威夫特4.2

我还删除了我的最后一个字符从字符串(即UILabel文本)在IOS应用程序

@IBOutlet weak var labelText: UILabel! // Do Connection with UILabel

@IBAction func whenXButtonPress(_ sender: UIButton) { // Do Connection With X Button

    labelText.text = String((labelText.text?.dropLast())!) // Delete the last caracter and assign it

}
