Swift find all occurrences of a substring
You just keep advancing the search range until you can't find any more instances of the substring:
extension String {
func indicesOf(string: String) -> [Int] {
var indices = [Int]()
var searchStartIndex = self.startIndex
while searchStartIndex < self.endIndex,
let range = self.range(of: string, range: searchStartIndex..<self.endIndex),
!range.isEmpty
{
let index = distance(from: self.startIndex, to: range.lowerBound)
indices.append(index)
searchStartIndex = range.upperBound
}
return indices
}
}
let keyword = "a"
let html = "aaaa"
let indicies = html.indicesOf(string: keyword)
print(indicies) // [0, 1, 2, 3]
I know we aren't playing code golf here, but for anyone interested in a functional style one-line implementation that doesn't use var
s or loops, this is another possible solution:
extension String {
func indices(of string: String) -> [Int] {
return indices.reduce([]) { $1.encodedOffset > ($0.last ?? -1) && self[$1...].hasPrefix(string) ? $0 + [$1.encodedOffset] : $0 }
}
}
