这个答案是理想的，因为它在一个扩展中扩展了String及其所有子序列(Substring)

public extension StringProtocol {
    
    public subscript (i: Int) -> Element {
        return self[index(startIndex, offsetBy: i)]
    }

    public subscript (bounds: CountableClosedRange<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let start = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.lowerBound)
        let end = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.upperBound)
        return self[start...end]
    }
    
    public subscript (bounds: CountableRange<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let start = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.lowerBound)
        let end = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.upperBound)
        return self[start..<end]
    }
    
    public subscript (bounds: PartialRangeUpTo<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let end = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.upperBound)
        return self[startIndex..<end]
    }
    
    public subscript (bounds: PartialRangeThrough<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let end = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.upperBound)
        return self[startIndex...end]
    }
    
    public subscript (bounds: CountablePartialRangeFrom<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let start = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.lowerBound)
        return self[start..<endIndex]
    }
}

使用

var str = "Hello, playground"

print(str[5...][...5][0])
// Prints ","

我刚想出了一个巧妙的变通办法

var firstChar = Array(string)[0]

Swift 2.2解决方案:

下面的扩展在Xcode 7中工作，这是这个解决方案和Swift 2.0语法转换的组合。

extension String {
    subscript(integerIndex: Int) -> Character {
        let index = startIndex.advancedBy(integerIndex)
        return self[index]
    }

    subscript(integerRange: Range<Int>) -> String {
        let start = startIndex.advancedBy(integerRange.startIndex)
        let end = startIndex.advancedBy(integerRange.endIndex)
        let range = start..<end
        return self[range]
    }
}

斯威夫特4

let str = "My String"

索引处的字符串

let index = str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
String(str[index])    // "S"

子字符串

let startIndex = str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
let endIndex = str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 7)
String(str[startIndex...endIndex])     // "Strin"

前n个字符

let startIndex = str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
String(str[..<startIndex])    // "My "

最后n个字符

let startIndex = str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
String(str[startIndex...])    // "String"

Swift 2和3

str = "My String"

**字符串索引**

斯威夫特2

let charAtIndex = String(str[str.startIndex.advancedBy(3)])  // charAtIndex = "S"

斯威夫特3

str[str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)]

子字符串fromIndex toIndex

斯威夫特2

let subStr = str[str.startIndex.advancedBy(3)...str.startIndex.advancedBy(7)] // subStr = "Strin"

斯威夫特3

str[str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)...str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 7)]

前n个字符

let first2Chars = String(str.characters.prefix(2)) // first2Chars = "My"

最后n个字符

let last3Chars = String(str.characters.suffix(3)) // last3Chars = "ing"

你也可以像这样将字符串转换为字符数组:

let text = "My Text"
let index = 2
let charSequence = text.unicodeScalars.map{ Character($0) }
let char = charSequence[index]

这是在常数时间内在指定索引处获取char的方法。

下面的示例不是在常数时间内运行，而是需要线性时间。所以如果你有很多搜索字符串索引使用上述方法。

let char = text[text.startIndex.advancedBy(index)]

在Swift 3中，没有对String类的扩展，就像我能做的那样简单!

let myString = "abcedfg"
let characterLocationIndex = myString.index(myString.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)
let myCharacter = myString[characterLocationIndex]

本例中的myCharacter为“3”。
