Swift4.0之后版本：

//range转换为NSRange
func nsRange(from range: Range<String.Index>) -> NSRange? {
    let utf16view = self.utf16
    if let from = range.lowerBound.samePosition(in: utf16view), let to = range.upperBound.samePosition(in: utf16view) {
       return NSMakeRange(utf16view.distance(from: utf16view.startIndex, to: from), utf16view.distance(from: from, to: to))
    }
    return nil
}
