string.charAt

charAt()方法从一个字符串中返回指定的字符。

语法

str.charAt(index)

参数

index一个介于0 和字符串长度减1之间的整数。 (0~length-1)如果没有提供索引，charAt() 将使用0。

返回值

表示指定字符串索引处的字符; 如果index超出范围，则为空字符串

描述

字符串中的字符从左向右索引，第一个字符的索引值为 0，最后一个字符（假设该字符位于字符串 stringName 中）的索引值为 stringName.length - 1。如果指定的 index 值超出了该范围，则返回一个空字符串。

如果没有为.charAt（）提供索引，则将使用0作为默认值。

示例

例子：输出字符串中不同位置的字符

下例输出字符串 "Brave new world" 不同位置处的字符：

var anyString = 'Brave new world';
console.log("The character at index 0   is '" + anyString.charAt()   + "'" 
// No index was provided, used 0 as default

console.log("The character at index 0   is '" + anyString.charAt(0)   + "'"
console.log("The character at index 1   is '" + anyString.charAt(1)   + "'"
console.log("The character at index 2   is '" + anyString.charAt(2)   + "'"
console.log("The character at index 3   is '" + anyString.charAt(3)   + "'"
console.log("The character at index 4   is '" + anyString.charAt(4)   + "'"
console.log("The character at index 999 is '" + anyString.charAt(999) + "'"

上面代码的输出为：

The character at index 0   is 'B'

The character at index 0   is 'B'
The character at index 1   is 'r'
The character at index 2   is 'a'
The character at index 3   is 'v'
The character at index 4   is 'e'
The character at index 999 is ''

例子：获取所有字符

以下提供了一种确保通过字符串循环总是提供整个字符的方法，即使该字符串包含不在基本多文种平面（BMP）中的字符。

var str = 'A \uD87E\uDC04 Z'; // We could also use a non-BMP character directly
for (var i = 0, chr; i < str.length; i++) {
  if ((chr = getWholeChar(str, i)) === false) {
    continue;
  }
  // Adapt this line at the top of each loop, passing in the whole string and
  // the current iteration and returning a variable to represent the 
  // individual character

  console.log(chr
}

function getWholeChar(str, i) {
  var code = str.charCodeAt(i

  if (Number.isNaN(code)) {
    return ''; // Position not found
  }
  if (code < 0xD800 || code > 0xDFFF) {
    return str.charAt(i
  }

  // High surrogate (could change last hex to 0xDB7F to treat high private
  // surrogates as single characters)
  if (0xD800 <= code && code <= 0xDBFF) {
    if (str.length <= (i + 1)) {
      throw 'High surrogate without following low surrogate';
    }
    var next = str.charCodeAt(i + 1
      if (0xDC00 > next || next > 0xDFFF) {
        throw 'High surrogate without following low surrogate';
      }
      return str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i + 1
  }
  // Low surrogate (0xDC00 <= code && code <= 0xDFFF)
  if (i === 0) {
    throw 'Low surrogate without preceding high surrogate';
  }
  var prev = str.charCodeAt(i - 1

  // (could change last hex to 0xDB7F to treat high private
  // surrogates as single characters)
  if (0xD800 > prev || prev > 0xDBFF) {
    throw 'Low surrogate without preceding high surrogate';
  }
  // We can pass over low surrogates now as the second component
  // in a pair which we have already processed
  return false;
}

在允许解构分配的独占JavaScript 1.7+环境（如Firefox）中，以下是一个更简洁和更灵活的替代方法，它会自动递增一个递增变量（如果字符保证它是一个替代对）。

var str = 'A\uD87E\uDC04Z'; // We could also use a non-BMP character directly
for (var i = 0, chr; i < str.length; i++) {
  [chr, i] = getWholeCharAndI(str, i
  // Adapt this line at the top of each loop, passing in the whole string and
  // the current iteration and returning an array with the individual character
  // and 'i' value (only changed if a surrogate pair)

  console.log(chr
}

function getWholeCharAndI(str, i) {
  var code = str.charCodeAt(i

  if (Number.isNaN(code)) {
    return ''; // Position not found
  }
  if (code < 0xD800 || code > 0xDFFF) {
    return [str.charAt(i), i]; // Normal character, keeping 'i' the same
  }

  // High surrogate (could change last hex to 0xDB7F to treat high private 
  // surrogates as single characters)
  if (0xD800 <= code && code <= 0xDBFF) {
    if (str.length <= (i + 1)) {
      throw 'High surrogate without following low surrogate';
    }
    var next = str.charCodeAt(i + 1
      if (0xDC00 > next || next > 0xDFFF) {
        throw 'High surrogate without following low surrogate';
      }
      return [str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i + 1), i + 1];
  }
  // Low surrogate (0xDC00 <= code && code <= 0xDFFF)
  if (i === 0) {
    throw 'Low surrogate without preceding high surrogate';
  }
  var prev = str.charCodeAt(i - 1

  // (could change last hex to 0xDB7F to treat high private surrogates
  // as single characters)
  if (0xD800 > prev || prev > 0xDBFF) {
    throw 'Low surrogate without preceding high surrogate';
  }
  // Return the next character instead (and increment)
  return [str.charAt(i + 1), i + 1];
}

示例：修复charAt以支持非基本多文种平面（BMP）字符

虽然上面的例子对于那些希望支持非BMP字符的用户可能更有用（因为它不要求调用者知道任何非BMP字符可能出现在哪里），在人们希望的情况下，在选择字符通过索引，将字符串中的替代对作为它们表示的单个字符，可以使用以下：

function fixedCharAt(str, idx) {
  var ret = '';
  str += '';
  var end = str.length;

  var surrogatePairs = /[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]/g;
  while ((surrogatePairs.exec(str)) != null) {
    var li = surrogatePairs.lastIndex;
    if (li - 2 < idx) {
      idx++;
    } else {
      break;
    }
  }

  if (idx >= end || idx < 0) {
    return '';
  }

  ret += str.charAt(idx

  if (/[\uD800-\uDBFF]/.test(ret) && /[\uDC00-\uDFFF]/.test(str.charAt(idx + 1))) {
    // Go one further, since one of the "characters" is part of a surrogate pair
    ret += str.charAt(idx + 1
  }
  return ret;
}
