我有一个场景，其中多个控制字符可以出现在我要拆分的字符串中。我只是让苹果处理这一部分，而不是维护一系列这些。

以下功能适用于iOS 10上的Swift 3.0.1：

let myArray = myString.components(separatedBy: .controlCharacters)

只需在fullName上调用componentsSeparatedByString方法

import Foundation

var fullName: String = "First Last"
let fullNameArr = fullName.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")

var firstName: String = fullNameArr[0]
var lastName: String = fullNameArr[1]

Swift 3更新+

import Foundation

let fullName    = "First Last"
let fullNameArr = fullName.components(separatedBy: " ")

let name    = fullNameArr[0]
let surname = fullNameArr[1]

let str = "one two"
let strSplit = str.characters.split(" ").map(String.init) // returns ["one", "two"]

Xcode 7.2（7C68）

Swift 4或更高版本

如果您只需要正确设置人名格式，可以使用PersonNameComponentsFormater。

PersonNameComponentsFormater类提供本地化人名组成部分的表示通过PersonNameComponents对象。使用此类创建本地化当向用户显示人名信息时。

// iOS (9.0 and later), macOS (10.11 and later), tvOS (9.0 and later), watchOS (2.0 and later)
let nameFormatter = PersonNameComponentsFormatter()

let name =  "Mr. Steven Paul Jobs Jr."
// personNameComponents requires iOS (10.0 and later)
if let nameComps  = nameFormatter.personNameComponents(from: name) {
    nameComps.namePrefix   // Mr.
    nameComps.givenName    // Steven
    nameComps.middleName   // Paul
    nameComps.familyName   // Jobs
    nameComps.nameSuffix   // Jr.

    // It can also be configured to format your names
    // Default (same as medium), short, long or abbreviated

    nameFormatter.style = .default
    nameFormatter.string(from: nameComps)   // "Steven Jobs"

    nameFormatter.style = .short
    nameFormatter.string(from: nameComps)   // "Steven"

    nameFormatter.style = .long
    nameFormatter.string(from: nameComps)   // "Mr. Steven Paul Jobs jr."

    nameFormatter.style = .abbreviated
    nameFormatter.string(from: nameComps)   // SJ

    // It can also be use to return an attributed string using annotatedString method
    nameFormatter.style = .long
    nameFormatter.annotatedString(from: nameComps)   // "Mr. Steven Paul Jobs jr."
}

对于按非字母字符拆分字符串，我们可以使用新的Character属性isLetter：

let fullName = "First Last"

let components = fullName.split{ !$0.isLetter }
print(components)  // "["First", "Last"]\n"

非顶部：

对于搜索如何使用子字符串（而不是字符）拆分字符串的人来说，下面是一个有效的解决方案：

// TESTING
let str1 = "Hello user! What user's details? Here user rounded with space."
let a = str1.split(withSubstring: "user") // <-------------- HERE IS A SPLIT
print(a) // ["Hello ", "! What ", "\'s details? Here ", " rounded with space."]

// testing the result
var result = ""
for item in a {
    if !result.isEmpty {
        result += "user"
    }
    result += item
}
print(str1) // "Hello user! What user's details? Here user rounded with space."
print(result) // "Hello user! What user's details? Here user rounded with space."
print(result == str1) // true

/// Extension providing `split` and `substring` methods.
extension String {
    
    /// Split given string with substring into array
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - string: the string
    ///   - substring: the substring to search
    /// - Returns: array of components
    func split(withSubstring substring: String) -> [String] {
        var a = [String]()
        var str = self
        while let range = str.range(of: substring) {
            let i = str.distance(from: str.startIndex, to: range.lowerBound)
            let j = str.distance(from: str.startIndex, to: range.upperBound)
            let left = str.substring(index: 0, length: i)
            let right = str.substring(index: j, length: str.length - j)
            a.append(left)
            str = right
        }
        if !str.isEmpty {
            a.append(str)
        }
        return a
    }
    
    /// the length of the string
    public var length: Int {
        return self.count
    }
    
    /// Get substring, e.g. "ABCDE".substring(index: 2, length: 3) -> "CDE"
    ///
    /// - parameter index:  the start index
    /// - parameter length: the length of the substring
    ///
    /// - returns: the substring
    public func substring(index: Int, length: Int) -> String {
        if self.length <= index {
            return ""
        }
        let leftIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: index)
        if self.length <= index + length {
            return String(self[leftIndex..<self.endIndex])
        }
        let rightIndex = self.index(self.endIndex, offsetBy: -(self.length - index - length))
        return String(self[leftIndex..<rightIndex])
    }

}

或者没有闭包，你可以在Swift 2中这样做：

let fullName = "First Last"
let fullNameArr = fullName.characters.split(" ")
let firstName = String(fullNameArr[0])
