with this method you can get specific range of string you need to pass start index and after that total number of characters you want   extension String      func substring fromIndex   Int count   Int  - gt  String          let startIndex   self index self startIndex  offsetBy  fromIndex          let endIndex   self index self startIndex  offsetBy  fromIndex   count          let range   startIndex   lt endIndex         return String self range

Hope this will help little more  -  var string    123456789    If you want a substring after some particular index   var indexStart     string index after  string startIndex     you can use any index in place of startIndex var strIndexStart     String  string indexStart       23456789   If you want a substring after removing some string at the end   var indexEnd     string index before  string endIndex  var strIndexEnd     String  string    lt indexEnd    12345678   you can also create indexes with the following code  -  var  indexWithOffset    string index string startIndex  offsetBy  4

User · Answer

You should leave one side empty  hence the name  partial range    let newStr   str    lt index    The same stands for partial range from operators  just leave the other side empty   let newStr   str index       Keep in mind that these range operators return a Substring  If you want to convert it to a string  use String s initialization function   let newStr   String str    lt index     You can read more about the new substrings here
