Question

In certain circumstances, I need to delete one or two records in my table view.

Rather than call reloadData is there anyway I can refresh from a say 6 rows down the table, from my data array ?

I really don’t want to call reloadData as this will loose the users position in the table.

I’m not using core data and don’t have time to re-write.

UITableView’s reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: does what you want.

If you want to delete some rows you could do something like this:

[tableView beginUpdates];

NSInteger rowToDelete = [self.objects indexOfObject:foo];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:rowToDelete inSection:0];
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
[self.objects removeObject:foo];

[tableView endUpdates];
