Można użyć tych rozszerzeń:
Swift 2
extension String
{
func substringWithRange(start: Int, end: Int) -> String
{
if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
{
print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
return ""
}
else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count
{
print("end index \(end) out of bounds")
return ""
}
let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(end))
return self.substringWithRange(range)
}
func substringWithRange(start: Int, location: Int) -> String
{
if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
{
print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
return ""
}
else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count
{
print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds")
return ""
}
let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start + location))
return self.substringWithRange(range)
}
}
Swift 3
extension String
{
func substring(start: Int, end: Int) -> String
{
if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
{
print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
return ""
}
else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count
{
print("end index \(end) out of bounds")
return ""
}
let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start)
let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: end)
let range = startIndex..<endIndex
return self.substring(with: range)
}
func substring(start: Int, location: Int) -> String
{
if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count)
{
print("start index \(start) out of bounds")
return ""
}
else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count
{
print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds")
return ""
}
let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start)
let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start + location)
let range = startIndex..<endIndex
return self.substring(with: range)
}
}
To będzie łatwiejsze:
let substring = myNSString.substringWithRange(0, location: 3)
