在swift 2.0中

var stringMe="Something In this.World"
var needle="."
if let idx = stringMe.characters.indexOf(needle) {
    let pos=stringMe.substringFromIndex(idx)
    print("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    print("Not found")
}

Swift 3.0让这个更加冗长:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = string.characters.index(of: needle) {
    let pos = string.characters.distance(from: string.startIndex, to: idx)
    print("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    print("Not found")
}

扩展:

extension String {
    public func index(of char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = characters.index(of: char) {
            return characters.distance(from: startIndex, to: idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

在Swift 2.0中，这变得更加容易:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = string.characters.indexOf(needle) {
    let pos = string.startIndex.distanceTo(idx)
    print("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    print("Not found")
}

扩展:

extension String {
    public func indexOfCharacter(char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = self.characters.indexOf(char) {
            return self.startIndex.distanceTo(idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

斯威夫特1。x实现:

对于纯Swift解决方案，可以使用:

let string = "Hello.World"
let needle: Character = "."
if let idx = find(string, needle) {
    let pos = distance(string.startIndex, idx)
    println("Found \(needle) at position \(pos)")
}
else {
    println("Not found")
}

作为String的扩展:

extension String {
    public func indexOfCharacter(char: Character) -> Int? {
        if let idx = find(self, char) {
            return distance(self.startIndex, idx)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

我知道这是一个旧的答案已经被接受，但你可以找到字符串的索引在几行代码使用:

var str : String = "abcdefghi"
let characterToFind: Character = "c"
let characterIndex = find(str, characterToFind)  //returns 2

一些关于Swift字符串的其他重要信息在这里

let mystring:String = "indeep";
let findCharacter:Character = "d";

if (mystring.characters.contains(findCharacter))
{
    let position = mystring.characters.indexOf(findCharacter);
    NSLog("Position of c is \(mystring.startIndex.distanceTo(position!))")

}
else
{
    NSLog("Position of c is not found");
}

你也可以像这样在一个字符串中找到一个字符的索引，

extension String {

  func indexes(of character: String) -> [Int] {

    precondition(character.count == 1, "Must be single character")

    return self.enumerated().reduce([]) { partial, element  in
      if String(element.element) == character {
        return partial + [element.offset]
      }
      return partial
    }
  }

}

它在[String]中给出结果。距离ie。(Int)

"apple".indexes(of: "p") // [1, 2]
"element".indexes(of: "e") // [0, 2, 4]
"swift".indexes(of: "j") // []

我不确定如何从字符串中提取位置。索引，但如果你愿意回到一些Objective-C框架，你可以桥接到Objective-C，用和以前一样的方式。

"abcdefghi".bridgeToObjectiveC().rangeOfString("c").location

看起来有些NSString方法还没有(或者可能不会)移植到String中。包含也出现在脑海中。
