A partir do Swift 4 (Xcode 9), a biblioteca padrão do Swift fornece métodos para converter entre os intervalos de string do Swift ( Range<String.Index>) e os NSStringintervalos ( NSRange). Exemplo:
let str = "a👿b🇩🇪c"
let r1 = str.range(of: "🇩🇪")!
// String range to NSRange:
let n1 = NSRange(r1, in: str)
print((str as NSString).substring(with: n1)) // 🇩🇪
// NSRange back to String range:
let r2 = Range(n1, in: str)!
print(str[r2]) // 🇩🇪
Portanto, a substituição de texto no método delegado do campo de texto agora pode ser feita como
func textField(_ textField: UITextField,
shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange,
replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if let oldString = textField.text {
let newString = oldString.replacingCharacters(in: Range(range, in: oldString)!,
with: string)
// ...
}
// ...
}
(Respostas anteriores para Swift 3 e anteriores :)
A partir do Swift 1.2, String.Indextem um inicializador
init?(_ utf16Index: UTF16Index, within characters: String)
que pode ser utilizado para converter NSRangea Range<String.Index>correctamente (incluindo todos os casos de Emojis, Indicadores da região ou outros agregados estendidos) grafema sem conversão para um intermediário NSString:
extension String {
func rangeFromNSRange(nsRange : NSRange) -> Range<String.Index>? {
let from16 = advance(utf16.startIndex, nsRange.location, utf16.endIndex)
let to16 = advance(from16, nsRange.length, utf16.endIndex)
if let from = String.Index(from16, within: self),
let to = String.Index(to16, within: self) {
return from ..< to
}
return nil
}
}
Esse método retorna um intervalo opcional de cadeias porque nem todos os NSRanges são válidos para uma determinada cadeia Swift.
O UITextFieldDelegatemétodo delegado pode então ser escrito como
func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
if let swRange = textField.text.rangeFromNSRange(range) {
let newString = textField.text.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(swRange, withString: string)
// ...
}
return true
}
A conversão inversa é
extension String {
func NSRangeFromRange(range : Range<String.Index>) -> NSRange {
let utf16view = self.utf16
let from = String.UTF16View.Index(range.startIndex, within: utf16view)
let to = String.UTF16View.Index(range.endIndex, within: utf16view)
return NSMakeRange(from - utf16view.startIndex, to - from)
}
}
Um teste simples:
let str = "a👿b🇩🇪c"
let r1 = str.rangeOfString("🇩🇪")!
// String range to NSRange:
let n1 = str.NSRangeFromRange(r1)
println((str as NSString).substringWithRange(n1)) // 🇩🇪
// NSRange back to String range:
let r2 = str.rangeFromNSRange(n1)!
println(str.substringWithRange(r2)) // 🇩🇪
Atualização para o Swift 2:
A versão Swift 2 do rangeFromNSRange()já foi dada por Serhii Yakovenko nesta resposta , eu a incluo aqui por completo:
extension String {
func rangeFromNSRange(nsRange : NSRange) -> Range<String.Index>? {
let from16 = utf16.startIndex.advancedBy(nsRange.location, limit: utf16.endIndex)
let to16 = from16.advancedBy(nsRange.length, limit: utf16.endIndex)
if let from = String.Index(from16, within: self),
let to = String.Index(to16, within: self) {
return from ..< to
}
return nil
}
}
A versão do Swift 2 NSRangeFromRange()é
extension String {
func NSRangeFromRange(range : Range<String.Index>) -> NSRange {
let utf16view = self.utf16
let from = String.UTF16View.Index(range.startIndex, within: utf16view)
let to = String.UTF16View.Index(range.endIndex, within: utf16view)
return NSMakeRange(utf16view.startIndex.distanceTo(from), from.distanceTo(to))
}
}
Atualização para Swift 3 (Xcode 8):
extension String {
func nsRange(from range: Range<String.Index>) -> NSRange {
let from = range.lowerBound.samePosition(in: utf16)
let to = range.upperBound.samePosition(in: utf16)
return NSRange(location: utf16.distance(from: utf16.startIndex, to: from),
length: utf16.distance(from: from, to: to))
}
}
extension String {
func range(from nsRange: NSRange) -> Range<String.Index>? {
guard
let from16 = utf16.index(utf16.startIndex, offsetBy: nsRange.location, limitedBy: utf16.endIndex),
let to16 = utf16.index(utf16.startIndex, offsetBy: nsRange.location + nsRange.length, limitedBy: utf16.endIndex),
let from = from16.samePosition(in: self),
let to = to16.samePosition(in: self)
else { return nil }
return from ..< to
}
}
Exemplo:
let str = "a👿b🇩🇪c"
let r1 = str.range(of: "🇩🇪")!
// String range to NSRange:
let n1 = str.nsRange(from: r1)
print((str as NSString).substring(with: n1)) // 🇩🇪
// NSRange back to String range:
let r2 = str.range(from: n1)!
print(str.substring(with: r2)) // 🇩🇪
