斯威夫特版本

即使这是一个Objective C问题，我需要在Swift中使用NSString，所以我也会在这里包括一个答案。

let myNSString: NSString = ""

if myNSString.length == 0 {
    print("String is empty.")
}

或者NSString是可选的:

var myOptionalNSString: NSString? = nil

if myOptionalNSString == nil || myOptionalNSString!.length == 0 {
    print("String is empty.")
}

// or alternatively...
if let myString = myOptionalNSString {
    if myString.length != 0 {
        print("String is not empty.")
    }
}

正常的Swift String版本是

let myString: String = ""

if myString.isEmpty {
    print("String is empty.")
}

请参见:检查Swift中的空字符串?

你可以检查[string length] == 0。这将检查它是否是一个有效的空字符串(@"")以及它是否为nil，因为在nil上调用length也将返回0。

空字符串有两种方式:

1) @"" //不包含空格

2) @" " //包含空格

严格来说，这两个字符串都是空的。我们可以用条件一来写出这两个式子

if ([firstNameTF.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""].length==0)
{
    NSLog(@"Empty String");
}
else
{
    NSLog(@"String contains some value");
}
