Re: [swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

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

Re: [swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

I would create a computed property on String and call it "words" Tino ___ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution

Re: [swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

As I understand in initial message, string should be splitted by spaces, not all kind of whitespaces(like TAB). whiteCharacterSet() is not just space(at least TAB char there too). So, if we need split just by space we need some componentsSeparatedBySpaceCharacter(). And IMO this is not a good

I want to find a conciseness and simplicity solution. But componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whiteCharacterSet()) scares me :) On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 7:39 PM James Campbell wrote: > Exactly > > Sent from Supmenow.com > > > > > On Fri,

Re: [swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

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?

[swift-evolution] Shortcut for creating arrays

Hey guys, Very often we need to create an array strings. It's a routine task and I really like shortcut in Ruby that shortcut makes everyday coding a little bit easier and fun: words = %w[rats live on no evil star] What do you think about adding something like this in Swift? Cheers, Arsen
