Memory Management with NSString and synthesized properties

Question

I thought I understood memory management but now I'm getting some odd behavior and that's the only thing I can see that I might be doing incorrectly:
I have a synthesized NSString propery called displayText. At one point I attempt to set a label with the displayText property (label.text = [[note displayText]]). The first one works, but the second one does not:
[note setDisplayText:[[note fileName]]]; // - works
[note setDisplayText:[[self getCharacterInFileName:[[note fileName]]]]; // - does not work
And here is getCharacterInFileName:
// Given the fileName for the image, get the specific part of that fileName for the note letter
- (NSString *)getCharacterInFileName:(NSString *)fileName
NSRange range = {1,1};
NSString *characterInString = [[[NSString alloc]] initWithString:[[fileName substringWithRange:range]]];
return characterInString;
Is there some pointer mismanagement going on here that I'm missing?

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I forgot to close an if/else block with a brace and it screwed everything up.
