How do I find the last occurrence of a substring in a Swift string?

by

And if you want to replace the last substring in a string:

(Swift 3)

extension String
{
    func replacingLastOccurrenceOfString(_ searchString: String,
            with replacementString: String,
            caseInsensitive: Bool = true) -> String
    {
        let options: String.CompareOptions
        if caseInsensitive {
            options = [.backwards, .caseInsensitive]
        } else {
            options = [.backwards]
        }

        if let range = self.range(of: searchString,
                options: options,
                range: nil,
                locale: nil) {

            return self.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: replacementString)
        }
        return self
    }
}

Usage:

let alphabet = "abc def ghi abc def ghi"
let result = alphabet.replacingLastOccurrenceOfString("ghi",
        with: "foo")

print(result)

// "abc def ghi abc def foo"

Or, if you want to remove the last substring completely, and clean it up:

let result = alphabet.replacingLastOccurrenceOfString("ghi",
            with: "").trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)

print(result)

// "abc def ghi abc def"
