你的代码转换到Swift 4也可以这样做:

let str = "Hello, playground"
let index = str.index(of: ",")!
let substr = str.prefix(upTo: index)

你可以使用下面的代码来创建一个新的字符串:

let newString = String(str.prefix(upTo: index))

substring(from: index)转换为[index…]

检查样品

let text = "1234567890"
let index = text.index(text.startIndex, offsetBy: 3)

text.substring(from: index) // "4567890"   [Swift 3]
String(text[index...])      // "4567890"   [Swift 4]

Swift 4/5更短:

let string = "123456"
let firstThree = String(string.prefix(3)) //"123"
let lastThree = String(string.suffix(3)) //"456"

我使用的简单方法是:

String(Array(str)[2...4])

Swift3和Swift4中的uppercasedFirstCharacter便利属性示例。

属性uppercasedFirstCharacterNew演示了如何在Swift4中使用字符串切片下标。

extension String {

   public var uppercasedFirstCharacterOld: String {
      if characters.count > 0 {
         let splitIndex = index(after: startIndex)
         let firstCharacter = substring(to: splitIndex).uppercased()
         let sentence = substring(from: splitIndex)
         return firstCharacter + sentence
      } else {
         return self
      }
   }

   public var uppercasedFirstCharacterNew: String {
      if characters.count > 0 {
         let splitIndex = index(after: startIndex)
         let firstCharacter = self[..<splitIndex].uppercased()
         let sentence = self[splitIndex...]
         return firstCharacter + sentence
      } else {
         return self
      }
   }
}

let lorem = "lorem".uppercasedFirstCharacterOld
print(lorem) // Prints "Lorem"

let ipsum = "ipsum".uppercasedFirstCharacterNew
print(ipsum) // Prints "Ipsum"

希望这将帮助更多:-

var string = "123456789"

如果你想在某个特定的索引后面加一个子字符串。

var indexStart  =  string.index(after: string.startIndex )// you can use any index in place of startIndex
var strIndexStart   = String (string[indexStart...])//23456789

如果你想在末尾删除某个字符串后获得子字符串。

var indexEnd  =  string.index(before: string.endIndex)
var strIndexEnd   = String (string[..<indexEnd])//12345678

还可以使用以下代码创建索引:—

var  indexWithOffset =  string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 4)
