Add a label after a String

Question

I need to create a line of text with two colors

There will Be a text, which is string in black and there will be one $ Symbol and it should be red.

lazy var dollarSmb: UILabel = {
      let smb = UILabel()
      smb.text = "$"
      smb.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .regular)
      smb.textColor = UIColor.red
      smb.baselineAdjustment = .alignCenters
      smb.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
      return smb
   }()

And I want to add it after the label string, something like that:

Var label = "This is a test" + " \(dollarSmb)"

It's not working

Could anyone help me the best way to do that? Many thanks

You could use NSAttributedString to construct a single string with a different color.

let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "This is a test ")
let dollarSymbl = NSAttributedString(string: "$", attributes: [.foregroundColor: UIColor.red])
attributedString.append(dollarSymbl)

// Then assign it to a UILabel
label.attributedText = attributedString
