I'm really stumped as to why I'm getting an exception. Here is a SSCCE I put together to demonstrate:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string tmp =
"Child of: View Available Networks (197314), Title: N/A (66244)";
Console.WriteLine(tmp);
int one = tmp.LastIndexOf('('), two = tmp.LastIndexOf(')');
//my own error checking
Console.WriteLine(tmp.Length);//returns 63
Console.WriteLine(one < 0);//returns false
Console.WriteLine(two > tmp.Length);//returns false
Console.WriteLine(one);//returns 56
Console.WriteLine(two);//returns 62
/*
* error occurs here.
* ArgumentOutOfRangeException Index and length must refer to
* a location within the string.
* Parameter name: length
*/
string intptr = tmp.Substring(one, two);
Console.WriteLine(intptr);
}
I can't see what I am doing wrong (though coming from a Java background it might be trivial), hopefully someone else can.
substring
s 2nd parameter is the length of the string you want to extract and not the position in the string.
You could do
string intptr = tmp.Substring(one + 1, two - one - 1);
