iOS How to get a selected cell's title?

[ataylor2009]

Okay, I know this question has an easy answer, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out...and I'm all out of clever search terms for the developer docs, but I know I'm close.

I have a table view, and upon selecting a detail disclosure button, my user is presented with a new view. I'd like to set the new view's title to the selected cell's textLabel property like "ruleViewerController.title = ??"

Can someone please put me out of my misery here? I know this isn't that hard, and I'll bet when I get the answer that it turns out to be on a page in the developer docs that I currently have open in another tab on my browser, but like I said - I'm currently stumped.

Thanks in advance.

Lets say you are tying an array to the table. If you click on a cell it should tell you which one was clicked and then you go to your data source and get that item.

Here's the code in question:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
RuleViewController *ruleViewController = [[RuleViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RuleViewController" bundle:nil];
ruleViewController.title = @"Julie"; // this is what I need to make dynamic
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ruleViewController animated:YES];
[ruleViewController release];
}

The commented line in the middle is the part I need help with; how do I get the selected cell's "textLabel" property, given only the indexPath? Like I said, I'm sure the solution is simple, but I'm still stumped.

Okay, I got it. Solution was

UITableCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *cellTitle = cell.textLabel.text;
ruleViewController.title = cellTitle;
// push controller

One step closer to done...one more item crossed off the to-do list.

The accepted approach is to pull the info from the same data source that was used to populate the cell in the first place.
