Substring with range out of bounds?

Question

Okay, so this is a bit confusing (well to me). I have a string that has a single number I want out of it. I have surrounded this number with \'/\' so that I will be able to

Answer 1

When the compiler runs into this code...

else{   
    end = i + 1;
}

... in the last iteration of the loop, it sets the end variable to one more then the range of MYSTRING. This is why you are getting that error. To fix it, just do this:

else{   
    end = i;
}

Hope this helps!

P.S. Saleh's approach is a simpler way of accomplishing what you want

------UPDATE------

You should do it like this actually:

NSMutableArray *occurencesOfSlashes = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
char looking = '/';
for(int i=0; i < MYSTRING.length; i++){
if ([MYSTRING characterAtIndex:i] == looking) {
    [occurencesOfSlashes addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:i]];  
}
NSString *finalString = [MYSTRING substringWithRange:NSMakeRange([occurencesOfSlashes objectAtIndex:0],[occurencesOfSlashes objectAtIndex:1])];
