why is this not working?{resolved}

[System_Error]

I have a JtextArea named textArea2 and I want to search for text and then select it.
My code is not working and I don't know what could possibly be wrong with it.

 String textSearch = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a string to search for");
	int left = textArea2.indexOf(textSearch);
	int right = textArea2.lastIndexOf(textSearch);
                textArea2.select(left,right);
