iOS Swift manipulate/parse string

Question

I'm not sure how to do this in iOS Swift

let test = "fnfsjflsjlkdkfj?v=904kg4"
// search test for ?v= and store everything after ?v= into a new string
let newString = "904kg4"

I want everything after ?v= into a new string, is this possible? if so, how can I accomplish this

Use rangeOfString to find the range of ?v= and then use substringFromIndex to get the rest of the string:

let test = "fnfsjflsjlkdkfj?v=904kg4"
if let range = test.rangeOfString("?v=") {
    let newString = test.substringFromIndex(range.endIndex)
}

You can also use the simple method without options.
