另一种方法如果你想从末尾删除一个或多个字符。

var myStr = "Hello World!"
myStr = (myStr as NSString).substringToIndex((myStr as NSString).length-XX)

其中XX是要删除的字符数。

使用函数removeAtIndex(i: String.Index)

var s = "abc"    
s.removeAtIndex(s.endIndex.predecessor())  // "ab"

Swift 3:当你想删除尾随字符串:

func replaceSuffix(_ suffix: String, replacement: String) -> String {
    if hasSuffix(suffix) {
        let sufsize = suffix.count < count ? -suffix.count : 0
        let toIndex = index(endIndex, offsetBy: sufsize)
        return substring(to: toIndex) + replacement
    }
    else
    {
        return self
    }
}

全局的dropLast()函数作用于序列，因此也作用于字符串:

var expression  = "45+22"
expression = dropLast(expression)  // "45+2"

// in Swift 2.0 (according to cromanelli's comment below)
expression = String(expression.characters.dropLast())

斯威夫特4

var welcome = "Hello World!"
welcome = String(welcome[..<welcome.index(before:welcome.endIndex)])

or

welcome.remove(at: welcome.index(before: welcome.endIndex))

or

welcome = String(welcome.dropLast())

函数的作用是:删除字符串的最后一个元素。

var expression = "45+22"
expression = expression.dropLast()
