Try:

import Cocoa

let s = "hallo\there"
let aas = NSMutableAttributedString(string: s, attributes: nil)

if let rangeOfTab = s.rangeOfString( "\t" ) {
    let colour = NSColor.grayColor()
    let length = distance(s.startIndex, rangeOfTab.startIndex)
    let aRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: length)
    aas.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: colour, range:
aRange)
}
