从文本视图或文本字段获取字符串值：

let textlengthstring = (yourtextview?.text)! as String

查找字符串中的字符数：

let numberOfChars = textlength.characters.count

“string”.count

;)

雨燕3

extension String {
    var length: Int {
        return self.characters.count
    }
}

用法

“string”.length

斯威夫特4

let str =  "Your name"

str.count 

记住：空格也计入数字

你可以这样试试

var test1: String = "Scott"
var length =  test1.bridgeToObjectiveC().length

为Xcode 6 beta 4更新，更改方法utf16count-->utf16count

 var test1: String = "Scott"
 var length =  test1.utf16Count

Or

 var test1: String = "Scott"
 var length = test1.lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(NSUTF16StringEncoding)

在Swift 4.1和Xcode 9.4.1中

在Objective c和Swift中获取长度是不同的。在Obj-c中我们使用长度属性，但在Swift中我们使用计数属性

例子：

//In Swift
let stringLenght = "This is my String"
print(stringLenght.count)

//In Objective c
NSString * stringLenght = @"This is my String";
NSLog(@"%lu", stringLenght.length);
