Split String into two and know its elements

Question

I have a string that has a url and some text ! The text can be before the url or after the url. So how can I split the string in two and know which one is Text and which one is URL.

For example String 1 = " This is stack overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask" (text is before the url)

String 2 = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask This is stack overflow" (text is after the url)

I found the solution.

func getAttributedText(_ text1:String,text2:String) -> NSAttributedString {

let attributedString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"(text1)\n", attributes: nil)

let attributedString2 = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"(text2)\n", attributes:nil)

attributedString1.append(attributedString2)

return attributedString1 }

let originalString = "https://medium.com/@felicity.johnson.mail/how-to-split-a-string-swift-3-0-e9b757445064 checking new post"

                do {
                    let types: NSTextCheckingResult.CheckingType = .link
                    let detector = try? NSDataDetector(types: types.rawValue)
                    let matches = detector?.matches(in: originalString, options: .reportCompletion, range: NSMakeRange(0, originalString.count))
                    var link:String!
                    if (matches != nil){
                        for match in matches! {
                            link = (match.url?.absoluteString)!

                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    let mutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: originalString, attributes: nil)


                    let attributedText = getAttributedText("DOJ watchdog finds no bias in launch of Trump-Russia probe, but uncovers ‘significant’ FBI errors", text2:"The Justice Department’s inspector general, in a long-awaited review concerning the origins of the Russia investigation \n")

                    let userContent : String = ""

           // Get range of text to replace
                    if let range = mutableAttributedString.string.range(of: link){
                        let nsRange = NSRange(range, in: mutableAttributedString.string)

      // Replace content in range with the new content
                        mutableAttributedString.replaceCharacters(in: nsRange, with: userContent)
                    }
          let userTypedContent = mutableAttributedString.string.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
                    let urlContent = attributedText.string.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
                    UIlablel.text = urlContent + userTypedContent }
