在操场上试试这个

var str:String = "Hello, playground"

let range = Range(start:advance(str.startIndex,1), end: advance(str.startIndex,8))

它会给出"ello, p"

然而，有趣的是，如果你使最后一个索引大于playground中的字符串，它将显示你在str:o之后定义的任何字符串

Range()似乎是一个泛型函数，因此它需要知道它正在处理的类型。

你还必须给它实际的字符串，你感兴趣的游乐场，因为它似乎持有所有的刺在一个接一个的序列与他们的变量名之后。

So

var str:String = "Hello, playground"

var str2:String = "I'm the next string"

let range = Range(start:advance(str.startIndex,1), end: advance(str.startIndex,49))

我是下一条线

即使str2使用let定义也有效

:)

借鉴Rob Napier的经验，我开发了这些常见的字符串扩展，其中两个是:

subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String
{
    get {
        let startIndex = advance(self.startIndex, r.startIndex)
        let endIndex = advance(self.startIndex, r.endIndex - 1)

        return self[Range(start: startIndex, end: endIndex)]
    }
}

func subString(startIndex: Int, length: Int) -> String
{
    var start = advance(self.startIndex, startIndex)
    var end = advance(self.startIndex, startIndex + length)
    return self.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: start, end: end))
}

用法:

"Awesome"[3...7] //"some"
"Awesome".subString(3, length: 4) //"some"

斯威夫特2.0

简单:

let myString = "full text container"
let substring = myString[myString.startIndex..<myString.startIndex.advancedBy(3)] // prints: ful

斯威夫特3.0

let substring = myString[myString.startIndex..<myString.index(myString.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)] // prints: ful

斯威夫特4.0

子字符串操作返回Substring类型的实例，而不是String。

let substring = myString[myString.startIndex..<myString.index(myString.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)] // prints: ful

// Convert the result to a String for long-term storage.
let newString = String(substring)

为Xcode 7更新。添加字符串扩展名:

Use:

var chuck: String = "Hello Chuck Norris"
chuck[6...11] // => Chuck

实现:

extension String {

    /**
     Subscript to allow for quick String substrings ["Hello"][0...1] = "He"
     */
    subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String {
        get {
            let start = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.startIndex)
            let end = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.endIndex - 1)
            return self.substringWithRange(start..<end)
        }
    }

}

Rob Napier已经用下标给出了一个很棒的答案。但我觉得有一个缺点，因为没有检查出约束条件。这可能会导致崩溃。所以我修改了扩展，在这里

extension String {
    subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String? { //Optional String as return value
        get {
            let stringCount = self.characters.count as Int
            //Check for out of boundary condition
            if (stringCount < r.endIndex) || (stringCount < r.startIndex){
                return nil
            }
            let startIndex = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.startIndex)

            let endIndex = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.endIndex - r.startIndex)

            return self[Range(start: startIndex, end: endIndex)]
        }
    }
}

下面的输出

var str2 = "Hello, World"

var str3 = str2[0...5]
//Hello,
var str4 = str2[0..<5]
//Hello
var str5 = str2[0..<15]
//nil

所以我建议总是检查if let

if let string = str[0...5]
{
    //Manipulate your string safely
}

在Swift3

例如:变量“Duke James Thomas”，我们需要得到“James”。

let name = "Duke James Thomas"
let range: Range<String.Index> = name.range(of:"James")!
let lastrange: Range<String.Index> = img.range(of:"Thomas")!
var middlename = name[range.lowerBound..<lstrange.lowerBound]
print (middlename)
