In the process of scraping some data from the web, the following code creates an error:

```
  idOpen = findall("""2">""",stringSnippetsI[i])[end]+1

```

The error produced is " **MethodError: no method matching +(::UnitRange{Int64}, ::Int64)**"

When inspecting what I am actually trying to define as idOpen I get

```
  print(typeof(findall("""2">""",stringSnippetsI[i])[1][end]+1))   

```

which is Int64, and more specifically

```
  print(findall("""2">""",stringSnippetsI[i])[1][end]+1)

```

What is causing the problem? What am I missing?

If

```julia
print(typeof(<something>))

```

doesn’t give an error, then

```julia
idOpen = <something>

```

also doesn’t give an error. So I think maybe the error is coming from somewhere else in your code, is that possible? Or you edited `<something>` between trying out both?

Maybe this helps you find it: the error indicates that you are trying to add a range (for example, `3:10`) to an integer (for example, `(3:10) + 42`).

`[1]`

You have that in the two examples that apparently work, but not in the original.
