NSIndexPath getIndexes example.

You have to allocate the NSUInteger array of size [indexPath length] and pass it as argument. The return value will be written there. You have to release that array yourself or do nothing it was created on stack like this:

    NSUInteger len2 = sizeof(newIndexes2)/sizeof(NSUInteger);
    NSIndexPath *baseIndexPath2 = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:newIndexes2
                                                             length:len2];
    NSUInteger ii;
    NSInteger start = [someIndexPath indexAtPosition:[someIndexPath length] -1];
    for (ii=start; ii<10; ii++) {
        NSIndexPath *newIndexPath2 = [baseIndexPath2 indexPathByAddingIndex:ii];
