Question

my string value is this
// The string should be something like "UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.5 0 0.25 1"

i’m parsing the string to get the color value alone

 -(UIColor*)colorFromNSString:(NSString *)string {


        NSMutableArray *values = [string componentsSeparatedByString:@""];
        CGFloat red = [[values objectAtIndex:1] floatValue];
        CGFloat green = [[values objectAtIndex:2] floatValue];
       CGFloat blue = [[values objectAtIndex:3] floatValue];
      CGFloat alpha = [[values objectAtIndex:4] floatValue];
      UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha];
   //     NSLog(@"the color in string is %@",red);
       return color;
}

i’m geting the error msg of sigabrt in this line

NSMutableArray *values = [string componentsSeparatedByString:@""];

crash log is

 CGColorRef coloref = [selectst CGColor];
     const CGFloat* components = CGColorGetComponents(coloref);

    CGFloat red = components[0];
    CGFloat green = components[1];
    CGFloat blue = components[2];
    CGFloat alpha =1;
    UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha];

hope this help you
