如果你只是想获取一个特定字符的子字符串，你不需要先找到索引，你可以只使用prefix(while:)方法

let str = "Hello, playground"
let subString = str.prefix { $0 != "," } // "Hello" as a String.SubSequence

你的代码转换到Swift 4也可以这样做:

let str = "Hello, playground"
let index = str.index(of: ",")!
let substr = str.prefix(upTo: index)

你可以使用下面的代码来创建一个新的字符串:

let newString = String(str.prefix(upTo: index))

转换子字符串(Swift 3)到字符串切片(Swift 4)

在Swift 3,4中:

let newStr = str.substring(to: index) // Swift 3
let newStr = String(str[..<index]) // Swift 4

let newStr = str.substring(from: index) // Swift 3
let newStr = String(str[index...]) // Swift 4 

let range = firstIndex..<secondIndex // If you have a range
let newStr = = str.substring(with: range) // Swift 3
let newStr = String(str[range])  // Swift 4

substring(from: index)转换为[index…]

检查样品

let text = "1234567890"
let index = text.index(text.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)

text.substring(from: index) // "4567890"   [Swift 3]
String(text[index...])      // "4567890"   [Swift 4]

Swift5

(Java的子字符串方法):

extension String {
    func subString(from: Int, to: Int) -> String {
       let startIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: from)
       let endIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: to)
       return String(self[startIndex..<endIndex])
    }
}

用法:

var str = "Hello, Nick Michaels"
print(str.subString(from:7,to:20))
// print Nick Michaels

Swift3和Swift4中的uppercasedFirstCharacter便利属性示例。

属性uppercasedFirstCharacterNew演示了如何在Swift4中使用字符串切片下标。

extension String {

   public var uppercasedFirstCharacterOld: String {
      if characters.count > 0 {
         let splitIndex = index(after: startIndex)
         let firstCharacter = substring(to: splitIndex).uppercased()
         let sentence = substring(from: splitIndex)
         return firstCharacter + sentence
      } else {
         return self
      }
   }

   public var uppercasedFirstCharacterNew: String {
      if characters.count > 0 {
         let splitIndex = index(after: startIndex)
         let firstCharacter = self[..<splitIndex].uppercased()
         let sentence = self[splitIndex...]
         return firstCharacter + sentence
      } else {
         return self
      }
   }
}

let lorem = "lorem".uppercasedFirstCharacterOld
print(lorem) // Prints "Lorem"

let ipsum = "ipsum".uppercasedFirstCharacterNew
print(ipsum) // Prints "Ipsum"
