I found these examples on useyourloaf.com<http://useyourloaf.com>: let fqdn = "useyourloaf.com<http://useyourloaf.com>" let rangeOfTLD = Range(start: fqdn.endIndex.advancedBy(-3), end: fqdn.endIndex) let tld = fqdn[rangeOfTLD] // "com" let rangeOfDomain = fqdn.startIndex..<fqdn.endIndex.advancedBy(-4) let domain = fqdn[rangeOfDomain] // "useyourloaf" var template = "<<<Hello>>>" let indexStartOfText = template.startIndex.advancedBy(3) let indexEndOfText = template.endIndex.advancedBy(-3) let subString1 = template.substringFromIndex(indexStartOfText) // Hello>>> let subString2 = template.substringToIndex(indexEndOfText) // <<<Hello
let rangeOfHello = indexStartOfText..<indexEndOfText // Both the following should return the String "Hello" let subString3 = template.substringWithRange(rangeOfHello) let subString4 = template.substringWithRange(indexStartOfText..<indexEndOfText) On Sep 2, 2016, at 5:17 AM, Gerriet M.
