NSArray String -> Substring

[joseph.gruber]

Hi all! I'm pretty new to Objective-C and XCode coming from a .Net background. I'm hoping you might be able to help me. Am I not able to do this:

self.catalogNumber = [tleSetStrings objectAtIndex: 1 substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2,5)];

Basically what I'd like to do is pull the string at index 1 in the tleSetStrings array and then return characters 2 through 7 (5 char count) from that string. I was hoping to combine it into one easy line of code instead of having to pull the string from the array, store it in a temp variable and then return the substring.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.

I ended up getting the result by writing:

self.catalogNumber = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [tleSetStrings objectAtIndex: 1]] substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2,5)];

This works for me but if I'm doing this wrong or there's a better way I'm all ears. Thanks!
