FWIW, in Swift 3: “h j c k”.componentsSeparated(by: “”)
or “h j c k”.componentsSeparatedByCharacters(in: .whitespace()) which is slightly better. Regarding the proposal, I love Ruby’s %w(foo bar) and other nice shortcuts like that, but short-term I think we have bigger problems in Swift. I would love if we had a macro system that would allow something like this, though. — Radek > On 08 Apr 2016, at 18:38, Ross O'Brien via swift-evolution > <swift-evolution@swift.org> wrote: > > A function that splits by whitespace would be this: > > "h j c > k".componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whiteCharacterSet()) > > 'componentsSeparatedByWhitespace' might be a nice addition as a shortcut for > that though? > > > On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 3:38 PM, James Campbell <ja...@supmenow.com > <mailto:ja...@supmenow.com>> wrote: > Pehaps we could have a function that splits by whitespace. > > "h j c k".split() > > ___________________________________ > > James⎥Alex's Minder > > ja...@supmenow.com <mailto:ja...@supmenow.com>⎥supmenow.com > <http://supmenow.com/> > Sup > > Runway East > > > 10 Finsbury Square > > London > > > EC2A 1AF > > > On 8 April 2016 at 15:05, Ross O'Brien via swift-evolution > <swift-evolution@swift.org <mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org>> wrote: > Well, you can do this already: > let words = "rats live on no evil star".componentsSeparatedByString(" ") > so I don't know how much a shortcut is needed. > > And given '%w' would currently be impossible in Swift as an operator > containing a letter, is there a Swiftier function name or operator for this? > > On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 2:20 PM, Arsen Gasparyan via swift-evolution > <swift-evolution@swift.org <mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org>> wrote: > Hey guys, > > Very often we need to create an array strings.
