Index of a substring in a string with Swift

Question

I\'m used to do this in JavaScript:

var domains = \"abcde\".substring(0, \"abcde\".indexOf(\"cd\")) // Returns \"ab\"

Swift doesn\'t have t

Answer 1

Doing this in Swift is possible but it takes more lines, here is a function indexOf() doing what is expected:

func indexOf(source: String, substring: String) -> Int? {
    let maxIndex = source.characters.count - substring.characters.count
    for index in 0...maxIndex {
        let rangeSubstring = source.startIndex.advancedBy(index)..

This function is not optimized but it does the job for short strings.
