到目前为止，下标(_:)不可用。就像我们不能这么做一样

str[0] 

与字符串。我们必须提供"String "。指数” 但是，我们如何给出我们自己的索引号呢，我们可以用，

string[str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 0)]

Swift 2.2解决方案:

下面的扩展在Xcode 7中工作，这是这个解决方案和Swift 2.0语法转换的组合。

extension String {
    subscript(integerIndex: Int) -> Character {
        let index = startIndex.advancedBy(integerIndex)
        return self[index]
    }

    subscript(integerRange: Range<Int>) -> String {
        let start = startIndex.advancedBy(integerRange.startIndex)
        let end = startIndex.advancedBy(integerRange.endIndex)
        let range = start..<end
        return self[range]
    }
}

还有另一种选择，在String声明中解释过

extension String : BidirectionalCollection {
    subscript(i: Index) -> Character { return characters[i] }
}

斯威夫特5.1.3:

添加一个String扩展名:

extension String {

 func stringAt(_ i: Int) -> String { 
   return String(Array(self)[i]) 
 } 

 func charAt(_ i: Int) -> Character { 
  return Array(self)[i] 
 } 
}

let str = "Teja Kumar"
let str1: String = str.stringAt(2)  //"j"
let str2: Character = str.charAt(5)  //"k"

斯威夫特3

extension String {

    public func charAt(_ i: Int) -> Character {
        return self[self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: i)]
    }

    public subscript (i: Int) -> String {
        return String(self.charAt(i) as Character)
    }

    public subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String {
        return substring(with: self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: r.lowerBound)..<self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: r.upperBound))
    }

    public subscript (r: CountableClosedRange<Int>) -> String {
        return substring(with: self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: r.lowerBound)..<self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: r.upperBound))
    }

}

使用

let str = "Hello World"
let sub = str[0...4]

有用的编程技巧和技巧(我写的)

Swift的String类型没有提供characterAtIndex方法，因为Unicode字符串有几种编码方式。你要用UTF8, UTF16，还是别的?

您可以通过检索String来访问CodeUnit集合。utf8和String。utf16属性。您还可以通过检索String来访问UnicodeScalar集合。unicodeScalars财产。

在NSString实现的精神中，我返回一个unichar类型。

extension String
{
    func characterAtIndex(index:Int) -> unichar
    {
        return self.utf16[index]
    }

    // Allows us to use String[index] notation
    subscript(index:Int) -> unichar
    {
        return characterAtIndex(index)
    }
}

let text = "Hello Swift!"
let firstChar = text[0]
