Swift version: 5.6
Swift strings have changed in every release since the language was first announced, but even after so much change its older counterpart, NSRange
, still appears in many UIKit APIs.
Fortunately, Swift 4 introduced a simple way to convert any NSRange
into a regular Swift Range
. For example, say you had the following string and range:
let input = "Hello, world"
let range = NSMakeRange(0, 10)
To make that into a Swift Range
instance you just need this single line of code:
let swiftRange = Range(range, in: input)
