斯威夫特4/5

var str = "bla"
str.removeLast() // returns "a"; str is now "bl"

使用新的Substring类型用法:

斯威夫特4:

var before: String = "Hello world!"
var lastCharIndex: Int = before.endIndex
var after:String = String(before[..<lastCharIndex])
print(after) // Hello world

短:

var before: String = "Hello world!"
after = String(before[..<before.endIndex])
print(after) // Hello world

一个快速变化的类别:

extension String {
    mutating func removeCharsFromEnd(removeCount:Int)
    {
        let stringLength = count(self)
        let substringIndex = max(0, stringLength - removeCount)
        self = self.substringToIndex(advance(self.startIndex, substringIndex))
    }
}

使用:

var myString = "abcd"
myString.removeCharsFromEnd(2)
println(myString) // "ab"

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()

var str = "Hello, playground"

extension String {
    var stringByDeletingLastCharacter: String {
        return dropLast(self)
    }
}

println(str.stringByDeletingLastCharacter)   // "Hello, playgroun"

补充上述代码，我想删除字符串的开头，但在任何地方都找不到引用。以下是我的做法:

var mac = peripheral.identifier.description
let range = mac.startIndex..<mac.endIndex.advancedBy(-50)
mac.removeRange(range)  // trim 17 characters from the beginning
let txPower = peripheral.advertisements.txPower?.description

这将从字符串的开头修剪17个字符(字符串的总长度是67，从末尾向前移动-50，就得到了它。
