Question

In the commitEditingStyle tableView method, the “.row” property is not working on the NSIndexPath. Any ideas?

Here is the call

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
{
    NSLog(@" Delete button pushed. IndexPath:%@",indexPath);  
}}

When the delete button is pushed in third row of the table the log message is:

‘Delete button pushed. IndexPath: 2 indexes [0, 2]’

If I change the log message to:

NSLog(@" Delete button pushed. IndexPath.row:%@",indexPath.row);

I get a compile error. What gives? I thought the NSIndexPath had a ‘row’ property. Obviously when I check the indexPath, it is there.

The issue is with your format specifier. row property is of integer type so you need to use %d instead of %@.

The .row property is part of the extension category defined in UIKit.

The doc is in http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/NSIndexPath_UIKitAdditions/Reference/Reference.html.

**row**

An index number identifying a row in a section of a table view. (read-only)

@property(readonly) NSUInteger row

**Discussion**

The section the row is in is identified by the value of section.
