let mystring:String = "indeep";
let findCharacter:Character = "d";

if (mystring.characters.contains(findCharacter))
{
    let position = mystring.characters.indexOf(findCharacter);
    NSLog("Position of c is \(mystring.startIndex.distanceTo(position!))")

}
else
{
    NSLog("Position of c is not found");
}

我玩以下的游戏

extension String {
    func allCharactes() -> [Character] {
         var result: [Character] = []
         for c in self.characters {
             result.append(c)
         }
         return 
    }
}

直到我理解提供的一个，现在它只是字符数组

和

let c = Array(str.characters)

Swift 4完整解决方案:

OffsetIndexableCollection(使用Int索引的字符串)

https://github.com/frogcjn/OffsetIndexableCollection-String-Int-Indexable-

let a = "01234"

print(a[0]) // 0
print(a[0...4]) // 01234
print(a[...]) // 01234

print(a[..<2]) // 01
print(a[...2]) // 012
print(a[2...]) // 234
print(a[2...3]) // 23
print(a[2...2]) // 2

if let number = a.index(of: "1") {
    print(number) // 1
    print(a[number...]) // 1234
}

if let number = a.index(where: { $0 > "1" }) {
    print(number) // 2
}

在Swift 2.0中，下面的函数在给定字符之前返回一个子字符串。

func substring(before sub: String) -> String {
    if let range = self.rangeOfString(sub),
        let index: Int = self.startIndex.distanceTo(range.startIndex) {
        return sub_range(0, index)
    }
    return ""
}

Swift 3.0让这个更加冗长:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = string.characters.index(of: needle) {
    let pos = string.characters.distance(from: string.startIndex, to: idx)
    print("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    print("Not found")
}

扩展:

extension String {
    public func index(of char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = characters.index(of: char) {
            return characters.distance(from: startIndex, to: idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

在Swift 2.0中，这变得更加容易:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = string.characters.indexOf(needle) {
    let pos = string.startIndex.distanceTo(idx)
    print("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    print("Not found")
}

扩展:

extension String {
    public func indexOfCharacter(char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = self.characters.indexOf(char) {
            return self.startIndex.distanceTo(idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

斯威夫特1。x实现:

对于纯Swift解决方案，可以使用:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = find(string, needle) {
    let pos = distance(string.startIndex, idx)
    println("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    println("Not found")
}

作为String的扩展:

extension String {
    public func indexOfCharacter(char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = find(self, char) {
            return distance(self.startIndex, idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

字符串{

//Fucntion to get the index of a particular string
func index(of target: String) -> Int? {
    if let range = self.range(of: target) {
        return characters.distance(from: startIndex, to: range.lowerBound)
    } else {
        return nil
    }
}
//Fucntion to get the last index of occurence of a given string
func lastIndex(of target: String) -> Int? {
    if let range = self.range(of: target, options: .backwards) {
        return characters.distance(from: startIndex, to: range.lowerBound)
    } else {
        return nil
    }
}
