Help passing table data after segue performed

Have you looked into the prepareForSegue: method?

 

Based on looking at your code, I don't think you're using a segue. (A segue is the transition that you would set up between views in a storyboard file.)

For what you have right there, I don't know what the most "correct" way of doing it is, but I'd probably have several properties for mainTableController which I would assign after creating the table and before presenting it.

It'd go something like:

Code:

mainTableController *aaa = [[mainTableController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:aaa];
aaa.string1 = @"Something passed.";
aaa.string2 = @"Another thing passed.";
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

In the cellForRow method, I'd then assign the contents of the cells to be equal to the strings.

Except... you're using static cells? I haven't used those before, but I remember those were mentioned in the tutorial I've posted a link to below, which if you read through parts 1 and 2, I think should answer your question...
