iOS常用方法——字符串中含某个子字符串高亮效果的实现

我们在使用Google进行搜索时会看到搜索的关键字高亮的效果：

iOS客户端字符串中子字符串实现的代码：

+(NSMutableAttributedString *)stringWithHighLightSubstring:(NSString *)totalString substring:(NSString *)substring{
    NSMutableAttributedString * attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:totalString];
    NSString * copyTotalString = totalString;
    NSMutableString * replaceString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:0];
    for (int i = 0; i < substring.length; i ++) {
        [replaceString appendString:@" "];
    }
    while ([copyTotalString rangeOfString:substring].location != NSNotFound) {
        NSRange range = [copyTotalString rangeOfString:substring];
        //颜色如果统一的话可写在这里，如果颜色根据内容在改变，可把颜色作为参数，调用方法的时候传入
        [attributedString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor orangeColor] range:range];
        copyTotalString = [copyTotalString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:replaceString];
    }
    return attributedString;
}

可以将该方法写在NSMutableAttributedString的分类中，用NSMutableAttributedString直接调用。
调用示例代码：

UILabel * label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 50, self.view.frame.size.width - 40, 80)];
    label.attributedText = [NSMutableAttributedString stringWithHighLightSubstring:@"给岁月以文明，而不是给文明以岁月！" substring:@"文明"];
    [self.view addSubview:label];
