Strange return of RangeOfString method

Question

Little explanation of the code : I have a dict that looks like this :

HC_1 : test1, HC_2: test2, ....

If I find HC_1 in the "theModifiedReportTemplateContent", I look for the first ">" after and I add "test1".

 -(NSMutableString*)almMapData:(NSDictionary *)aDictData;
{

NSMutableString *theModifiedReportTemplateContent = itsReportTemplateContent mutableCopy];

for(id theCell in aDictData)
{
    NSRange theNameRange = [theModifiedReportTemplateContent rangeOfString:theCell];
    NSString *theNewContent = [theModifiedReportTemplateContent substringFromIndex:theNameRange.location];
    if(theNameRange.location != NSNotFound)
    {
        NSRange theCharRange = [theNewContent rangeOfString:@">"];
        long theIndex =((long)theCharRange.location+(long)theNameRange.location+1);
        [theModifiedReportTemplateContent insertString:[aDictData objectForKey:theCell] atIndex:theIndex];

    }
}

return theModifiedReportTemplateContent;

}

My problem is that we I print theCharRange, I have something like :

location=13, length=1
 {
  2001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000

  <object returned empty description>

}

So I have a exception with InsertString atIndex.

Html content like : NPV < 100 000 NPV IN (100 000,200 000) NPV >= 200 000 — Kaki, Mar 31 '15 at 11:05
You might be better off parsing it using an XML parser, then modifying the DOM and then writing it back out. Your current implementation is very ugly and error-prone. — trojanfoe, Mar 31 '15 at 11:24
Thank you for your answer. I just discovered about NSXMLParser. Do you know how to use it ? — Kaki, Mar 31 '15 at 14:44
