I have only one line of code between the above two NSLog outputs:
[idList deleteCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(6,9)];

I don't understand how deleting characters 6-9 results in the change in idList. The 3 is character 6, but the what happens to the rest of the string?

thanks,

Okay, I get it. NSMakeRange x,y) uses x as the first character and then counts up by y characters. Tricky. Especially when there is no documentation for it.

Actually, there is documentation for it. From Foundation Functions:

NSMakeRange
Creates a new NSRange from the specified values.

NSRange NSMakeRange(unsigned int location, unsigned int length)

Discussion

Creates an NSRange having the specified location and length.

Thanks, Chuck. That's a good link.
