I am new to objective C programming.
I created a PygLatin application but it keeps crashing it. Do tell me if you have spotted any problems with my code.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: ' -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 5 beyond bounds [0 .. 4]'
First throw call stack:
would appreciate all the help I can get thanks! :)

This code had been working fine until just recently. I hadn't' changed anything nor upgraded my system and I'm completely flummoxed.
I've been using it for 6 years and now it dies on me.
Is there an easier or better way of running an applescript from within a cocoa application? At this point I'm happy to pay to fix this problem!

Easier, yes, although whether that’s your actual problem is another question.
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/asoc.html
I assume you’ve already got other details, including sandboxing and hardening settings and plist entries, taken care of. (Recent Xcode upgrades also had a habit of breaking it when auto-upgrading your project files, by turning on hardening for you so Apple events can’t get out.)
I've pieced together several tutorials to create a grouped table with sections and I'm now trying to get a uisearchbar to work. the problem I'm having is how to search within the grouped sections.
I've read the similar questions this post suggested but can't
This is the code to create the grouped sections
#import "Job.h" // A model for the data
#import "Address.h" // Another model for the data
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.theTable.delegate = self;
self.theTable.dataSource =self;
_searchBar.delegate = (id)self;
FMDBDataAccess *db = [[FMDBDataAccess alloc] init];
jobs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
jobs = [db getJobs:1];
_sections = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *jobsTempArray = [db getJobsAsDictionary:1];
BOOL found;
// Loop through the books and create our keys
for (NSDictionary *book in jobsTempArray)
{
NSString *cLong = [book objectForKey:#"addrAddress"];
NSString *c = [cLong substringToIndex:1];
found = NO;
for (NSString *str in [_sections allKeys])
{
if ([str isEqualToString:c])
{
found = YES;
}
}
if (!found)
{
[_sections setValue:[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] forKey:c];
}
}
// Loop again and sort the books into their respective keys
for (NSDictionary *book in jobsTempArray)
{
[[_sections objectForKey:[[book objectForKey:#"addrAddress"] substringToIndex:1]] addObject:book];
}
// Sort each section array
for (NSString *key in [_sections allKeys])
{
[[_sections objectForKey:key] sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:#"addrAddress" ascending:YES]]];
}
}
And this is the code that searches
-(void)searchBar:(UISearchBar*)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString*)text
{
if(text.length == 0)
{
_isFiltered = FALSE;
}
else
{
_isFiltered = true;
_filteredjobs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
//for (Job* book in jobs)
//for (Job* book in [_sections allKeys])
//for (NSString *food in [_sections allKeys])
for (NSDictionary* book in [_sections allKeys])
{
NSString *addrStr = [book objectForKey:#"addrAddress"];
NSString *postStr = [book objectForKey:#"addrPostcode"];
//NSRange nameRange = [book.jobAddress rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
NSRange nameRange = [addrStr rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
//NSRange descriptionRange = [book.jobPostcode rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
NSRange descriptionRange = [postStr rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
if(nameRange.location != NSNotFound || descriptionRange.location != NSNotFound)
{
[_filteredjobs addObject:book];
}
}
}
[self.theTable reloadData];
}
I've got as far as realising I need to change for (Job* food in jobs) to for (NSDictionary* book in [_sections allKeys]) but I'm stuck how to search within [_sections allKeys]
Specifically this line
NSRange nameRange = [addrStr rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
which crashes with
-[__NSCFString objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x692e200
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFString objectForKey:]:
unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x692e200':
Any ideas? PS Treat me as a noob, I'll need some code as well as explanation - I'm still learning obj-c
Check the Link.It shows the UISearchBar With Grouped Section Tableview.Its a simple Tutorial..Hope its useful for you
I found the answer in
UISearchBar - search a NSDictionary of Arrays of Objects and reading up on allkeys.
Basically loop through the grouped NSDictionary and extract the NSArrays, then loop through again searching...
-(void)searchBar:(UISearchBar*)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString*)text
{
if(text.length == 0)
{
_isFiltered = FALSE;
}
else
{
_isFiltered = true;
_filteredjobs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *currentLetter = [[NSString alloc] init];
for (int i=0; i<[_sections count]; i++)
{
currentLetter = [[_sections allKeys] objectAtIndex:i];
NSArray *jobsForKey = [ [NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[_sections objectForKey:[[_sections allKeys] objectAtIndex:i]] ];
for (int j=0; j<[jobsForKey count]; j++)
{
NSDictionary *book = [jobsForKey objectAtIndex:j];
NSRange titleResultsRange = [[book objectForKey:#"addrAddress"] rangeOfString:text options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
if(titleResultsRange.location != NSNotFound)
{
[_filteredjobs addObject:book];
}
}
}
}
[self.theTable reloadData];
}
i ve got a table view parsed from json string.everthing works good .if i m to type a character in my search bar i m getting this error '-[__NSCFString countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1d52ac50'below is the code.were the below variable name data is NSMutableArray.could u guys help me out.
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controllershouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString
{
[searchData removeAllObjects];
NSArray *group;
for(group in nameData)
{
NSLog(#"wat am i doing here:%#",group);
NSMutableArray *newGroup = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *element;
for(element in group)
{
NSRange range = [element rangeOfString:searchString options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
if (range.length > 0) {
[newGroup addObject:element];
}
}
if ([newGroup count] > 0) {
[searchData addObject:newGroup];
}
}
return YES;
}
Please check out this code

I have developed in C but am quite new to Objective-C and iPhone app development. I am working on an app that needs to strip the punctuation off a string. The function works but when I analyse the code it flags up some issues around one of the NSstrings I am using.
I don't understand why and therefore don't know how to fix it.
The code for the main function along with the analyser warning is:
- (IBAction)doIt {
NSString *start_punct = [[NSString alloc] init];
NSString *end_punct = [[NSString alloc] init];
NSString *actual_word = [[NSString alloc] init];
outputTextTextView.text = translatedText; //potential leak of an object alloctated on line xx and stored into 'actual word'
[translatedText release]; translatedText = nil;
[start_punct release]; start_punct = nil; //incorrect decrement of reference count of an object that is not owned at this point by the caller
[end_punct release]; end_punct = nil;
[actual_word release]; actual_word = nil; //this causes a crash
start_punct = [MainViewController getStartPunct:word start:&start_range_start len:&start_range_len];
end_punct = [MainViewController getEndPunct:word start:&end_range_start len:&end_range_len];
actual_word = [word substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(start_range_start,(end_range_start-start_range_start)+1)];
}
The code for the getStartPunct and getEndPunct functions is below
+(NSString*) getStartPunct:(NSString*) inputString
start:(NSInteger*)rangeStart
len:(NSInteger*)length {
NSString* start_str = nil;
NSRange firstAlphanumCharFromStart = [inputString rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[NSCharacterSet alphanumericCharacterSet]];
if (firstAlphanumCharFromStart.location != NSNotFound) {
start_str = [inputString substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(0, firstAlphanumCharFromStart.location)];
*length = firstAlphanumCharFromStart.length;
*rangeStart = firstAlphanumCharFromStart.location;
} //if
if (start_str == nil) {
*length=0;
*rangeStart=0;
}
return start_str;
} //getStartPunct
+(NSString*) getEndPunct:(NSString*) inputString
start:(NSInteger*)rangeStart
len:(NSInteger*)length {
NSString* end_str = nil;
NSInteger rnge = inputString.length;
NSCharacterSet* CS = [NSCharacterSet alphanumericCharacterSet];
NSRange firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd = [inputString rangeOfCharacterFromSet:CS options:NSBackwardsSearch];
if (firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd.location != NSNotFound) {
end_str = [inputString substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd.location+1, rnge - firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd.location-1)];
*length = firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd.length;
*rangeStart = firstNonAlphanumCharFromEnd.location;
} //if
if (end_str == nil) {
*length=0;
*rangeStart=0;
}
return end_str;
} //getEndPunct
Can someone see what the issue is? I'm sure it is something very basic..
Many Thanks in advance!
Thanks for all the responses so far.
adpalumbo you are right, I had paste the elements in the wrong order. The correct order is below and I have changed the initialization as suggested by Alex Nichol.
This has fixed 1 of the warning but the others (as shown below) still remain and I don't understand why 'start_punct' and 'end_punct' are behaving differently
- (IBAction)doIt {
NSString *start_punct = nil;
NSString *end_punct = nil;
NSString *actual_word = nil;
start_punct = [MainViewController getStartPunct:word start:&start_range_start len:&start_range_len]; // method returns objective with +0 retain count
end_punct = [MainViewController getEndPunct:word start:&end_range_start len:&end_range_len];
actual_word = [word substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(start_range_start,(end_range_start-start_range_start)+1)];
[translatedText release]; translatedText = nil;
[start_punct release]; start_punct = nil; //incorrect decrement of reference count
[end_punct release]; end_punct = nil;
//[actual_word release]; actual_word = nil; //possible abend
}
I'm really desperate on this one. I'm trying to make a Framework which you can search and play YouTube videos with. But while testing it, I'm running in to a big problem.
In the search operation I'm adding YTVideos (a subclass of NSObject) to a NSMutableArray. When I loop thru it in the main(), I'm getting nil-objects:
Method
- (NSArray *)videosInRange:(NSRange)range {
if(range.length > 50) {
[NSException raise:#"Range lenth > 50"
format:#"The range of -videosInRange: can't be bigger than 50"];
return nil;
}
if((range.location + range.length) > 999) {
[NSException raise:#"Range to big"
format:#"The given range was to big (%d, %d)", range.location, range.length];
return nil;
}
NSString *searchURLString = [[self feedURL] absoluteString];
searchURLString = [searchURLString stringBySettingURLAttribute:#"start-index" value:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",range.location + 1]];
searchURLString = [searchURLString stringBySettingURLAttribute:#"max-results" value:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",range.length]];
NSLog(#"%#",searchURLString);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:searchURLString];
NSXMLDocument *xmlDoc = [[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url
options:0
error:NULL];
if(!xmlDoc)
return nil;
NSArray *videoElements = [[xmlDoc rootElement] elementsForName:#"entry"];
NSMutableArray *videos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[videoElements count]];
register int i;
for(i = 0; i < [videoElements count]; i++) {
NSAutoreleasePool *addPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
YTVideo *vid = [[YTVideo alloc] initWithXMLElement:[videoElements objectAtIndex:i]];
[videos addObject:vid];
[vid release];
[addPool drain];
}
NSArray *retValue = [NSArray arrayWithArray:videos];
[videos release];
return retValue;
}
main()
int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
YTSearchFeed *feed = [[YTSearchFeed alloc] initWithSearch:#"Eminem"];
long long results = [feed videoCount];
NSLog(#"%lld videos for search", results);
long long i = 0;
while(results != 0) {
int length = (results >= 50) ? (50) : (results);
NSArray *videos = [feed videosInRange:NSMakeRange(i, length)];
NSLog(#"L: %d", [videos count]);
int z;
for(z = 0; z < [videos count]; z++, i++) {
YTVideo *vid = [videos objectAtIndex:z];
NSString *title = [vid title];
NSLog(#"%d: %#", i+1, title);
}
results -= length;
}
[pool drain];
return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);
}
I hope someone can take the time to look at this, and if you need anymore information, just ask.
Thank you in advance,

EDIT: YTVideo
- (id)initWithXMLElement:(NSXMLElement *)element {
self = [super init];
if(self != nil) {
_XMLElement = [element copy];
}
return self;
}
- (NSString *)title {
if(!_title) {
NSString *str = [[[self XMLElement] firstElementWithName:#"title"] stringValue];
_title = [[str stringByDecodingHTMLEntities] retain];
}
return [[_title copy] autorelease];
}
I get the title (and other video information) only when it's requested. the -stringByDecodingHTMLEntities works fine (Category on NSString).
I've rewritten the code and initialized all instance variables in the -initmethod
