用这个方法你可以得到字符串的特定范围。你需要传递起始索引和你想要的字符总数。

extension String{
    func substring(fromIndex : Int,count : Int) -> String{
        let startIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: fromIndex)
        let endIndex = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: fromIndex + count)
        let range = startIndex..<endIndex
        return String(self[range])
    }
}

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]

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"

你可以使用扩展类String来创建你的自定义subString方法，如下所示:

extension String {
    func subString(startIndex: Int, endIndex: Int) -> String {
        let end = (endIndex - self.count) + 1
        let indexStartOfText = self.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: startIndex)
        let indexEndOfText = self.index(self.endIndex, offsetBy: end)
        let substring = self[indexStartOfText..<indexEndOfText]
        return String(substring)
    }
}

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))

一些有用的扩展:

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

    func substring(range: NSRange) -> String {
        return substring(from: range.lowerBound, to: range.upperBound)
    }
}
