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。

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)!

斯威夫特5.1.3:

添加一个String扩展名:

extension String {

 func stringAt(_ i: Int) -> String { 
   return String(Array(self)[i]) 
 } 

 func charAt(_ i: Int) -> Character { 
  return Array(self)[i] 
 } 
}

let str = "Teja Kumar"
let str1: String = str.stringAt(2)  //"j"
let str2: Character = str.charAt(5)  //"k"

Swift的String类型没有提供characterAtIndex方法，因为Unicode字符串有几种编码方式。你要用UTF8, UTF16，还是别的?

您可以通过检索String来访问CodeUnit集合。utf8和String。utf16属性。您还可以通过检索String来访问UnicodeScalar集合。unicodeScalars财产。

在NSString实现的精神中，我返回一个unichar类型。

extension String
{
    func characterAtIndex(index:Int) -> unichar
    {
        return self.utf16[index]
    }

    // Allows us to use String[index] notation
    subscript(index:Int) -> unichar
    {
        return characterAtIndex(index)
    }
}

let text = "Hello Swift!"
let firstChar = text[0]

这是最好最简单的方法之一

        let yourString = "thisString"
        print(Array(yourString)[8])

将字符串中的每个字母放入数组 然后选择第9个

Swift 4或更高版本

Substring类型是在Swift 4中引入的，用于生成子字符串 通过与原始字符串共享存储，更快更有效，这就是下标函数应该返回的。

在这里试试吧

extension StringProtocol {
    subscript(offset: Int) -> Character { self[index(startIndex, offsetBy: offset)] }
    subscript(range: Range<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let startIndex = index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: range.lowerBound)
        return self[startIndex..<index(startIndex, offsetBy: range.count)]
    }
    subscript(range: ClosedRange<Int>) -> SubSequence {
        let startIndex = index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: range.lowerBound)
        return self[startIndex..<index(startIndex, offsetBy: range.count)]
    }
    subscript(range: PartialRangeFrom<Int>) -> SubSequence { self[index(startIndex, offsetBy: range.lowerBound)...] }
    subscript(range: PartialRangeThrough<Int>) -> SubSequence { self[...index(startIndex, offsetBy: range.upperBound)] }
    subscript(range: PartialRangeUpTo<Int>) -> SubSequence { self[..<index(startIndex, offsetBy: range.upperBound)] }
}

要将子字符串转换为字符串，您可以简单地 做字符串(字符串[0..2])，但你应该只做如果 您计划保留子字符串。否则，就更多了 有效地保持它为Substring。

It would be great if someone could figure out a good way to merge these two extensions into one. I tried extending StringProtocol without success, because the index method does not exist there. Note: This answer has been already edited, it is properly implemented and now works for substrings as well. Just make sure to use a valid range to avoid crashing when subscripting your StringProtocol type. For subscripting with a range that won't crash with out of range values you can use this implementation

为什么这不是内置的?

错误消息显示“请参阅文档注释以进行讨论”。Apple在文件unavailablestringapi .swift中提供了以下解释:

Subscripting strings with integers is not available. The concept of "the ith character in a string" has different interpretations in different libraries and system components. The correct interpretation should be selected according to the use case and the APIs involved, so String cannot be subscripted with an integer. Swift provides several different ways to access the character data stored inside strings. String.utf8 is a collection of UTF-8 code units in the string. Use this API when converting the string to UTF-8. Most POSIX APIs process strings in terms of UTF-8 code units. String.utf16 is a collection of UTF-16 code units in string. Most Cocoa and Cocoa touch APIs process strings in terms of UTF-16 code units. For example, instances of NSRange used with NSAttributedString and NSRegularExpression store substring offsets and lengths in terms of UTF-16 code units. String.unicodeScalars is a collection of Unicode scalars. Use this API when you are performing low-level manipulation of character data. String.characters is a collection of extended grapheme clusters, which are an approximation of user-perceived characters. Note that when processing strings that contain human-readable text, character-by-character processing should be avoided to the largest extent possible. Use high-level locale-sensitive Unicode algorithms instead, for example, String.localizedStandardCompare(), String.localizedLowercaseString, String.localizedStandardRangeOfString() etc.
