powershell - $string.Substring Index/Length exception

I'm getting this exception when using Substring:

Exception calling "Substring" with "2" argument(s): "Index and length must
refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length"
At line:14 char:5
+     $parameter = $string.Substring($string.Length-1, $string ...
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArgumentOutOfRangeException

I understand its meaning, but I'm not sure why I'm getting given the index and length are correct.

I'm doing the following:

$string = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetserviceshidParameters"
$parameter = $string.Substring($string.Length-1, $string.Length)

Even attempting to hard code it throws the same exception:

$parameter = $string.Substring(68, 69)

Is there something I'm missing?

Your first argument is that starting position in the string, and the second is the length of the substring, starting at that position. The expression for the 2 characters at positions 68 and 69 would be:

$parameter = $string.Substring(68,2)
