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)]

斯威夫特5.3

我觉得这很优雅。“Hacking with Swift”的Paul Hudson提出了以下解决方案:

@available (macOS 10.15, * )
extension String {
    subscript(idx: Int) -> String {
        String(self[index(startIndex, offsetBy: idx)])
    }
}

然后，要从字符串中获取一个字符，你只需做:

var string = "Hello, world!"

var firstChar = string[0] // No error, returns "H" as a String

注意:我只是想补充，这将返回一个字符串指出在评论。我认为这对Swift用户来说可能是意想不到的，但我经常需要一个字符串来直接在我的代码中使用，而不是字符类型，所以它确实简化了我的代码，避免了后来从字符到字符串的转换。

获取和设置下标(字符串和子字符串)- Swift 4.2

Swift 4.2, Xcode 10

我的回答是基于@ alcarlson的回答。 唯一的区别是你可以返回一个Substring或String(在某些情况下，一个字符)。您还可以获取和设置下标。 最后，我的回答比@alecarlson的回答更麻烦，也更长，因此，我建议你把它放在源文件中。

我是斯威夫特4号

let myString = "LOVE"

self.textField1.text = String(Array(myString)[0])
self.textField2.text = String(Array(myString)[1])
self.textField3.text = String(Array(myString)[2])
self.textField4.text = String(Array(myString)[3])

swift字符串类不提供在特定索引处获取字符的能力，因为它本身支持UTF字符。UTF字符在内存中的可变长度使得直接跳转到字符是不可能的。这意味着每次都必须手动遍历字符串。

您可以扩展String以提供一个方法，该方法将遍历字符，直到您需要的索引

extension String {
    func characterAtIndex(index: Int) -> Character? {
        var cur = 0
        for char in self {
            if cur == index {
                return char
            }
            cur++
        }
        return nil
    }
}

myString.characterAtIndex(0)!

还有另一种选择，在String声明中解释过

extension String : BidirectionalCollection {
    subscript(i: Index) -> Character { return characters[i] }
}
