Question by Bicko · Mar 19, 2012 at 04:17 PM · regex

Substring Exception

I'm having an issue using Substring, whenever my search input exceeds 5 characters, I keep getting the following Exception:

 ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex + length > this.length
 Parameter name: length
 System.String.Substring (Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
 MyScript.OnGUI () (at Assets/MyScript.cs:757)

Here's what I'm using to call it, anyone got some advice?

 searchLength = mySearchStr.Length;
 
 if(Regex.IsMatch(myArray[i].name.Substring(0,searchLength), mySearchStr, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
 //Yada yada

I guess myArray[i].name.Length is lower than searchLength. You can fix that with Mathf.Min( (...).name.Length, searchLength ), or other similar ways.

Ahh, yeah, that was indeed the problem.. I didn't think that because I was looping through all of the objects inside myArray that it would have a problem with anything with less characters than the current search string.

Here's what I used in the end, for anyone else having a similar issue:

 if(myArray[i].name.Length < searchLength)
     continue;
