编程时，我经常用简单的A-Za-z和0-9组成的字符串。不需要困难的索引操作。这个扩展是基于普通的老左/中/右函数。

extension String {

    // LEFT
    // Returns the specified number of chars from the left of the string
    // let str = "Hello"
    // print(str.left(3))         // Hel
    func left(_ to: Int) -> String {
        return "\(self[..<self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: to)])"
    }

    // RIGHT
    // Returns the specified number of chars from the right of the string
    // let str = "Hello"
    // print(str.left(3))         // llo
    func right(_ from: Int) -> String {
        return "\(self[self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: self.length-from)...])"
    }

    // MID
    // Returns the specified number of chars from the startpoint of the string
    // let str = "Hello"
    // print(str.left(2,amount: 2))         // ll
    func mid(_ from: Int, amount: Int) -> String {
        let x = "\(self[self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: from)...])"
        return x.left(amount)
    }
}

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

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)
    }
}

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])
    }
}

希望对大家有所帮助。

extension String {
    func getSubString(_ char: Character) -> String {
        var subString = ""
        for eachChar in self {
            if eachChar == char {
                return subString
            } else {
                subString += String(eachChar)
            }
        }
        return subString
    }
}


let str: String = "Hello, playground"
print(str.getSubString(","))

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
