Swift2 - Split String to individual characters - string

I am trying to split a string into individual characters.
The string I want to split: let lastName = "Kocsis" so that is returns something like: ["K","o","c","s","i","s"]
So far I have tried:
var name = lastName.componentsSeparatedByString("")
This returns the original string
name = lastName.characters.split{$0 == ""}.map(String.init)
This gives me an error: Missing argument for parameter #1 in call. So basically it does't accept "" as an argument.
name = Array(lastName)
This does't work in Swift2
name = Array(arrayLiteral: lastName)
This doesn't do anything.
How should I do this? Is There a simple solution?

Yes, there is a simple solution
let lastName = "Kocsis"
let name = Array(lastName.characters)
The creation of a new array is necessary because characters returns String.CharacterView, not [String]

How to remove string after and before specific chars

I have this string: https://2352353252142dsbxcs35#github.com/happy.git
I want to get result: https://github.com/happy.git (without random string after second / and after # but without #).
Now I have something like this:
var s = 'https://2352353252142dsbxcs35#github.com/happy.git';
var d = s.substring(s.indexOf('/')+2, s.indexOf('#')+1;
s = s.replace(d, "");
it works, but I know it's an ugly solution.
What is the most efficient and more universal solution?
Try this:
const indexOfAtSign: number = receivedMessage.indexOf('#')+1
const httpsString: string = 'https://'
const trimmedString: string = s.slice(indexOfAtSign)
const requiredURL: string = httpsString.concat(trimmedString)
// Print this value of requiredURL wherever you want.
So here what my code does is, it gets position of # and removes everything before it along with the sign itself. Then using the slice() function, we are left with the remaining part which I named as trimmedString. Now I have pre-defined the `https string, anf we just need to merge them now. Done :-)
I had tried this out in my telegram bot and here's how it works:

Lua: String to name?

is it possible to convert a string into a name of a table entry?
just like
string = "test"
y = {test = 123}
print y.string
So if string is "test" it would print y.test if there is such a entry
Hope you understand my question!
Thanks in advance...
print(y[string])
Be careful with using names such as string for variables, especially globals. You've just overwritten the string table.

How to implement string manipulation in efficienct way?

I have a string ="/show/search/All.aspx?Att=A1". How to get the last value after the 'Att=' in efficient way ?
You could do a split on the '=' character.
Example (in C#):
string line = "/show/search/All.aspx?Att=A1";
string[] parts = line.Split('=');
//parts[1] contains A1;
Hope this helps
If you're only dealing with this one URL then both of the other answers would work fine. I would consider using the HttpUtility.ParseQueryString method and just pull out the item you want by key.
Whatever an
efficient way
is...
Try this:
var str = "/show/search/All.aspx?Att=A1";
var searchString = "Att=";
var answer = str.Substring(str.IndexOf(searchString) + searchString.Length);

Is there any way to retrieve a appended int value to a String in javaScript?

I am currently working on a project that dynamically displays DB content into table.
To edit the table contents i am want to use the dynamically created "string"+id value.
Is there any way to retrieve the appended int value from the whole string in javaScript?
Any suggestions would be appreciative...
Thanks!!!
If you know that the string part is only going to consist of letters or non-numeric characters, you could use a regular expression:
var str = "something123"
var id = str.replace(/^[^\d]+/i, "");
If it can consist of numbers as well, then things get complicated unless you can ensure that string always ends with a non-numeric character. In which case, you can do something like this:
var str = "something123"
var id = str.match(/\d+$/) ? str.match(/\d+$/)[0] : "";
(''+string.match(/\d+/) || '')
Explanation: match all digits in the variable string, and make a string from it (''+).
If there is no match, it would return null, but thanks to || '', it will always be a string.
You might try using the regex:
/\d+$/
to retrieve the appended number

Path.Combine with spaces in passed parameter?

string exeFile = (new System.Uri(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().CodeBase)).AbsolutePath;
string exeDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(exeFile);
string fileName = Path.Combine(exeDir, #"..\..\xml\SalesOrderXMLData.csv.xml");
Hello,
The above code works if the project is in, for example,
C:\Code\
but not if its in
C:\Documents and Settings\Naim\My Documents..
If i have the string, i would use escape characters where needed, but in this case, i dont know how to get around this.
Update: result fileName = "D:\Naim\My%20Documents\Visual%20Studio%202008\Projects\XML_Gen\XML_Gen\bin\Debug\..\..\xml\SalesOrderXMLData.csv.xml"
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
It's probably the URI. Use Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location, and pass it directly to Path.GetDirectoryName().
code below works, though I don't know why the above wasn't working. Changed AbsolutePath to LocalPath
string exeFile = (new System.Uri(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().CodeBase)).LocalPath;
string exeDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(exeFile);
string fileName = Path.Combine(exeDir, #"..\..\xml\SalesOrderXMLData.csv.xml");
