这将只删除您选择的尾随字符。

func trimRight(theString: String, charSet: NSCharacterSet) -> String {

    var newString = theString

    while String(newString.characters.last).rangeOfCharacterFromSet(charSet) != nil {
        newString = String(newString.characters.dropLast())
    }

    return newString
}

解决方案在这里描述:如何从NSString的右端删除空白?

添加以下类别到NSString:

- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSRange rangeOfLastWantedCharacter = [self rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[characterSet invertedSet]
                                                               options:NSBackwardsSearch];
    if (rangeOfLastWantedCharacter.location == NSNotFound) {
        return @"";
    }
    return [self substringToIndex:rangeOfLastWantedCharacter.location+1]; // non-inclusive
}

- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters {
    return [self stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet:
            [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
}

你可以这样使用它:

[yourNSString stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters]

NSString* NSStringWithoutSpace(NSString* string)
{
    return [string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];
}

NSString *trimmedString = [string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
                              [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
//for remove whitespace and new line character

NSString *trimmedString = [string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
                              [NSCharacterSet punctuationCharacterSet]]; 
//for remove characters in punctuation category

还有许多其他字符集。根据你的要求自己检查一下。

在Objective-C中只修剪一端而不是两端的简单解决方案:

@implementation NSString (category)

/// trims the characters at the end
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingSuffixCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger i = self.length;
    while (i > 0 && [characterSet characterIsMember:[self characterAtIndex:i - 1]]) {
        i--;
    }
    return [self substringToIndex:i];
}

@end

和一个对称的实用工具，仅用于修剪开头:

@implementation NSString (category)

/// trims the characters at the beginning
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingPrefixCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger i = 0;
    while (i < self.length && [characterSet characterIsMember:[self characterAtIndex:i]]) {
        i++;
    }
    return [self substringFromIndex:i];
}

@end

另一个解决方案涉及创建可变字符串:

//make mutable string
NSMutableString *stringToTrim = [@" i needz trim " mutableCopy];

//pass it by reference to CFStringTrimSpace
CFStringTrimWhiteSpace((__bridge CFMutableStringRef) stringToTrim);

//stringToTrim is now "i needz trim"
