If myString.indexOf(...) worked, myString is apparently a javascript string.
Therefor it should have no characters property.
So correct your last line

myString.characters.itemByRange(...
=>
myStory.characters.itemByRange(...

---------

Dave: "Of course you can use a constant, if it is larger than myStart. If it's not, it's going to find the one at MyStart every time. Why would you expect otherwise? "

I guess the second argument to indexOf() was wrongly thought as the nth occurence. Dave is right in this regard, that argument is counting characters.
