You can’t. let s : NSString = "hallo\there" let aas = NSMutableAttributedString( string: s, attributes: nil )
let rangeOfTab = s.rangeOfString( "\t" ) if rangeOfTab.location != NSNotFound { let colour = UIColor.grayColor() let aRange = NSRange(location:0, length:rangeOfTab.location ) aas.addAttribute( NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: colour, range: aRange ) } } After 1+ months are you sure Swift is worth all this effort? > On 16 Aug 2014, at 4:30 pm, Gerriet M.
