同样有效的方法:

// Init default Double variable
var scanned: Double()

let scanner = NSScanner(string: "String to Scan")
scanner.scanDouble(&scanned)

// scanned has now the scanned value if something was found.

var stringValue = "55"

var convertToDouble = Double((stringValue as NSString).doubleValue)

或者你可以这样做:

var myDouble = Double((mySwiftString.text as NSString).doubleValue)

请到操场上检查!

let sString = "236.86"

var dNumber = NSNumberFormatter().numberFromString(sString)
var nDouble = dNumber!
var eNumber = Double(nDouble) * 3.7

顺便说一下，在我的Xcode中

.toDouble() -不存在

从非数值字符串中创建值0.0

在Swift 2.0中使用此代码

let strWithFloat = "78.65"
let floatFromString = Double(strWithFloat)

1.

let strswift = "12"
let double = (strswift as NSString).doubleValue

2.

var strswift= "10.6"
var double : Double = NSString(string: strswift).doubleValue 

也许这对你有帮助。
