string = string.filter ({!" ".contains($0) })

快速解决方案:

用法:

let txt = "        hello world     "
let txt1 = txt.trimStart() // "hello world     "
let txt2 = txt.trimEnd()   // "        hello world"

用法二:

let txt = "rr rrr rrhello world r r r r r r"
let txt1 = txt.trimStart(["r", " "]) // "hello world r r r r r r"
let txt2 = txt.trimEnd(["r", " "])   // "rr rrr rrhello world"

如果你需要移除字符串中的所有空白:

txt.replace(of: " ", to: "")

public extension String {
    func trimStart(_ char: Character) -> String {
        return trimStart([char])
    }
    
    func trimStart(_ symbols: [Character] = [" ", "\t", "\r", "\n"]) -> String {
        var startIndex = 0
        
        for char in self {
            if symbols.contains(char) {
                startIndex += 1
            }
            else {
                break
            }
        }
        
        if startIndex == 0 {
            return self
        }
        
        return String( self.substring(from: startIndex) )
    }
    
    func trimEnd(_ char: Character) -> String {
        return trimEnd([char])
    }
    
    func trimEnd(_ symbols: [Character] = [" ", "\t", "\r", "\n"]) -> String {
        var endIndex = self.count - 1
        
        for i in (0...endIndex).reversed() {
            if symbols.contains( self[i] ) {
                endIndex -= 1
            }
            else {
                break
            }
        }
        
        if endIndex == self.count {
            return self
        }
        
        return String( self.substring(to: endIndex + 1) )
    }
}

extension String {

    var removingWhitespaceAndNewLines: String {
        return removing(.whitespacesAndNewlines)
    }

    func removing(_ forbiddenCharacters: CharacterSet) -> String {
        return String(unicodeScalars.filter({ !forbiddenCharacters.contains($0) }))
    }
}

Swift 3版本

  //This function trim only white space:
   func trim() -> String
        {
            return self.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespaces)
        }
    //This function trim whitespeaces and new line that you enter:
     func trimWhiteSpaceAndNewLine() -> String
        {
            return self.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines)
        }

代码少做多。

"Hello World".filter({$0 != " "}) // HelloWorld

这个String扩展删除了字符串中的所有空格，而不仅仅是尾随空格…

 extension String {
    func replace(string:String, replacement:String) -> String {
        return self.replacingOccurrences(of: string, with: replacement, options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: nil)
    }

    func removeWhitespace() -> String {
        return self.replace(string: " ", replacement: "")
    }
  }

例子:

let string = "The quick brown dog jumps over the foxy lady."
let result = string.removeWhitespace() // Thequickbrowndogjumpsoverthefoxylady.
