Objective C getting pickerview values

Question

another Objective-C one for you, probably pretty obvious but I have been at this for a few days now, and can't get it to work after trawling through similar problems on here and elsewhere!

Pretty much I have a 5 segment picker which, when a button is clicked, an alert sheet is shown which once accepted grabs the values of the picker wheels. Easy huh, yet I cant get it to work and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong... Some code below... it's probably pretty bad... but it's all pretty new to me so any help would be appreciated. All this is done without using InterfaceBuilder by the way.

Everything up to the loop after the action sheet works fine... I just can't get the values out!

(ps, i hope the formatting works! And I have changed some of my namings and that but all should be right)

Thanks!

An alternative answer: thePickerView is nil. I don't see you assigning a value to it, right?
