Extract Last Word in String with Swift

Question

What is the way of extracting last word in a String in Swift? So if I have \"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\", return \"amet\". What is the most efficient way of doing this?

Answer 1

First use componentsSeparatedByString to split your string into an array by space, then get the last word of the array using .last

var string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
var stringArr = string.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")

var lastWord = stringArr.last //amet
