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)
    }
}

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

我写了一个字符串扩展替换' string: subString:'

extension String {
    
    func sliceByCharacter(from: Character, to: Character) -> String? {
        let fromIndex = self.index(self.index(of: from)!, offsetBy: 1)
        let toIndex = self.index(self.index(of: to)!, offsetBy: -1)
        return String(self[fromIndex...toIndex])
    }
    
    func sliceByString(from:String, to:String) -> String? {
        //From - startIndex
        var range = self.range(of: from)
        let subString = String(self[range!.upperBound...])
        
        //To - endIndex
        range = subString.range(of: to)
        return String(subString[..<range!.lowerBound])
    }
    
}

用法:“日期(1511508780012+0530)”sliceByString(from: "("， to: "+") 示例结果:"1511508780012"

PS:可选选项被强制展开。如有需要，请添加类型安全检查。

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"

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
