How do I check if a string contains another string in Swift?

Question

In Objective-C the code to check for a substring in an NSString is:

NSString *string = @\"hello Swift\";
NSRange textRange =[strin         


        

Answer 1

As of Xcode 7.1 and Swift 2.1 containsString() is working fine for me.

let string = "hello swift"
if string.containsString("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

Swift 4:

let string = "hello swift"
if string.contains("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

And a case insensitive Swift 4 example:

let string = "Hello Swift"
if string.lowercased().contains("swift") {
    print("found swift")
}

Or using a case insensitive String extension:

extension String {
    func containsIgnoreCase(_ string: String) -> Bool {
        return self.lowercased().contains(string.lowercased())
    }
}

let string = "Hello Swift"
let stringToFind = "SWIFT"
if string.containsIgnoreCase(stringToFind) {
    print("found: \(stringToFind)")  // found: SWIFT
}
print("string: \(string)")
print("stringToFind: \(stringToFind)")

// console output:
found: SWIFT
string: Hello Swift
stringToFind: SWIFT
