Help my broken brains

gistfile1.m

The following doesnt work for some reason and it's really hurting my brains.

The variables contents are:
===========================
myString = <script src="/mint/?js" type="text/javascript">
matchedString = ?js"

I'm finding the range:
======================
NSRange matchRange = [[myString string] rangeOfString:matchedString options:NSLiteralSearch];

The output is as follows:
=========================

matchRange.location = 0.000000;
matchRange.length   = 0.000000;

Can you ensure that the NSString is not nil? rangeOfString: on a nil NSStringreturnslocationandlength` 0.

NSLog(@"%@", s.string);
NSLog(@"%@", match);          
NSRange location = [s.string rangeOfString:match options:NSLiteralSearch];
NSLog(@"Loc: %f, Len %f", location.location, location.length);

outputs:

[Line 109] ?js"
[Line 110] <script src="/mint/?js" type="text/javascript"></script>
[Line 112] Loc: 0.000000, Len 0.000000

What happens if you search without the NSLiteralSearch option?

Try switching s.string and match? It seems like you're looking for the big string in the little string?

Have you tried escaping the quote and/or the question mark with a \? Unlikely that would have any effect, but worth a try...

This is a much more realworld example. As you can see there is a ? in the search string!

NSRange location = [s.string rangeOfString:@"?" options:NSAnchoredSearch];
NSLog(@"%@", s.string);
NSLog(@"Loc: %d, Len %d", location.location, location.length);

outputs:

[Line 110]             <script src="/mint/?js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tmdvs.me/mint/?record&amp;key=32664866363337313636345433584f7873686963645471474b31&amp;referer=&amp;resource=http%3A//tmdvs.com/&amp;resource_title=Tim%20Davies%20sans%20vowels&amp;resource_title_encoded=0&amp;resolution=768x1024&amp;flash_version=0&amp;1346617362934&amp;serve_js"></script>
