iphone - Load a text file when UITableView is tapped

Question

So, I've got an UITableView showing the contents of the app Documents folder. In that folder I have 9 text files called 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt and so. I've managed to get the selected row, but now I need to load the txt wich corresponds to the selected file. By example if I touch the 2.txt, the detail view should open what is on 2.txt file. That's the part I don't manage to get working. Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

When you select the row the table view delegate method is called:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

inside this method you can build your file name in this way:

NSString *fileName = [DocumentsFolder stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d.txt",indexPath.row+1]];

notice how I used the indexPath.row (that is: row number of selected cell) to build the file name. I suppose in the example that first row (indexed with 0) leads to file name 1.txt

Now you can load this file.
