Any way to replace characters on Swift String?
(23 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
my code is like the following:
let fileName = "/users/lezi/downloads/Zootopia.srt"
var srtFile = try? String(contentsOfFile: fileName)
let range = srtFile?.range(of: "00:00:59,825")
print(srtFile?[range!])
srtFile?.replaceSubrange(range!, with: "00:00:59,826")
print(srtFile?[range!])
I hope the "00:00:59,825" is replaced to "00:00:59,826", but the print is "Optional("\r\n\r\n2")\n", some characters just before "00:00:59,825"
Regardless of use case. The common syntax to replace the substring is:
str.replacingOccurrences(of: "replace_this", with: "with_this")
where replace_thisis the text string you want to replace and ```with_this`` is the new sub-string to insert.
You can try using replacingOccurrences(of:with:).
Returns a new string in which all occurrences of a target string in the receiver are replaced by another given string
sample example :
let str = "Swift 4.0 is the best version of Swift to learn, so if you're starting fresh you should definitely learn Swift 4.0."
let replaced = str.replacingOccurrences(of: "4.0", with: "5.0")

How to get the first character of each word in a string?
(11 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have quick question about Swift algorithm, assuming I have a string “New Message” which option I need to use to get just initials NM ?
I would use map to get the first character of each word in the string, then use reduce to combine them.
let string = "New Message"
let individualWords = string.components(separatedBy: " ")
let firstCharacters = individualWords.map { $0.prefix(1) }.reduce("", +)
print("firstCharacters is \(firstCharacters)")
Result:
firstCharacters is NM
Edit: Per #LeoDabus' comment, joined is more concise than reduce("", +), and does the same thing.
let firstCharacters = individualWords.map { $0.prefix(1) }.joined()

Why does String.subscript(_:) require the types `String.Index` and `Int` to be equal when there is no `Int` involved?
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have a pretty basic code, that makes 2 String.Index ranges from an existing websiteContent String like so:
let test1 = websiteContent.range(of: startString, options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: websiteContent.startIndex..<websiteContent.endIndex)
let test2 = websiteContent.range(of: endString, options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: websiteContent.startIndex..<websiteContent.endIndex)
Then it prints the text between the 2 ranges:
if let beginning = test1, let end = test2 {
print(websiteContent[beginning.lowerBound..<end.upperBound])
}
This works just fine, my problem is that when I try to store this String value I just printed it throws an error message. The way I tried to store it is this:
if let beginning = test1, let end = test2 {
let why : String = websiteContent[beginning.lowerBound..<end.upperBound]
}
And the error message says: Subscript 'subscript(_:)' requires the types 'String.Index' and 'Int' be equivalent
Could you please help me understand what do I do wrong?
This is actually a bug, the error is misleading.
You have to create a String from the Substring, annotating the type is not sufficient.
if let beginning = test1, let end = test2 {
let why = String(websiteContent[beginning.lowerBound..<end.upperBound])
}
Side note:
You can omit , range: websiteContent.startIndex..<websiteContent.endIndex, the range of the whole string is the default.

I'm writing a app where I need to present the second name of a person on the screen.
The names are always "firstname space lastname" as in:
let str = "Fred Bloggs"
let secondStr = "William Wright"
Can you tell me how to get "Bloggs" out of that first string and "Wright" out of the second string, not knowing the index of Bloggs. All the examples I've seen seem to assume you know the index of the position you want to get a substring from.
Thanks.

Reversing the order of a string value

Needed to reverse a swift string, managed to do so with this.
var str = "Hello, playground"
let reactedText = str.characters.reversed()
let nowBackwards = Array(reactedText)
let answer = String(nowBackwards)
And since I find nothing on SO in the subject I post it for some positive votes :) or indeed a better [shorter, as in different] solution.
Assuming you are using Swift 4 :
let string = "Hello, playground"
let reversedString = String(string.reversed())
Since in Swift 4, Strings are Character arrays again, you can call reversed on the String itself and the result will be of type [Character], from which you can initialize a String.
let stringToBeReversed = "Hello, playground"
let reversedString = String(stringToBeReversed.reversed()) //"dnuorgyalp ,olleH"
reversed method is available in String library
let str = "Hello, world!"
let reversed = String(str.reversed())
print(reversed)

I want get value before symbol # or number in swift. I have email which is john#gmail.com. I want get john only. Another example is peter34#gmail.com. I want get peter only.
Use components(separatedBy:) passing it a CharacterSet composed of # and the digits, and then use first to get the first part of the symbol:
let emails = ["john#gmail.com", "peter34#gmail.com"]
for email in emails {
if let name = email.components(separatedBy: CharacterSet(charactersIn: ("#0123456789"))).first {
print(name)
}
}
Output:
john
peter
try this
let EMAIL= "peter34#gmail.com"
let EMAILARR= EMAIL.characters.split{$0 == "#"}.map(String.init)
EMAILARR[0] // to get peter34
EMAILARR[1] // to get gmail.com
