Swift 2.0 substringwithrange

Question

I have Xcode 7 um, with fast 2.0, which is equivalent to an essay:

Let myNSString = "full text container" myNSString.substringWithRange(NSRange(location: 0, length: 3)) 

With a new string class?

Answer 1

Try the following:

 let myString = "full text container" myString[myString.startIndex..<myString.startIndex.advancedBy(3)] 

Answer 2

You can use these extensions:

Swift 2

 extension String { func substringWithRange(start: Int, end: Int) -> String { if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count) { print("start index \(start) out of bounds") return "" } else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count { print("end index \(end) out of bounds") return "" } let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(end)) return self.substringWithRange(range) } func substringWithRange(start: Int, location: Int) -> String { if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count) { print("start index \(start) out of bounds") return "" } else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count { print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds") return "" } let range = Range(start: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start), end: self.startIndex.advancedBy(start + location)) return self.substringWithRange(range) } } 

Swift 3

 extension String { func substring(start: Int, end: Int) -> String { if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count) { print("start index \(start) out of bounds") return "" } else if end < 0 || end > self.characters.count { print("end index \(end) out of bounds") return "" } let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start) let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: end) let range = startIndex..<endIndex return self.substring(with: range) } func substring(start: Int, location: Int) -> String { if (start < 0 || start > self.characters.count) { print("start index \(start) out of bounds") return "" } else if location < 0 || start + location > self.characters.count { print("end index \(start + location) out of bounds") return "" } let startIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start) let endIndex = self.characters.index(self.startIndex, offsetBy: start + location) let range = startIndex..<endIndex return self.substring(with: range) } } 

And it will be easier:

 let substring = myNSString.substringWithRange(0, location: 3)
