Objective-c I need to get a string of an array from a UItableview

Question

I have a tableview that the rows are been filled with the name of .csv files that are in the document directory, i need to open the .csv that is been selected in the row and then show the info in a detail view. I'm trying to get the indexPath.row that it's been selected to get the correct element in the array but is crashing here's is that part of the code and above i will post the full code:

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  NSLog(@"%d", indexPath.row); 
  currentcsvfile = [dirList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ];;
   NSLog(@"\n current csv %@",currentcsvfile);
  [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"detailsegue" sender:self];
}

This is the error: 2017-10-09 22:51:31.590248 oFiOSstoryboard[2340:583894] 2 2017-10-09 22:51:31.590460 oFiOSstoryboard[2340:583894] *** -[__NSArrayI objectAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x170246540 ![error ] 1

Answer 1

When you get the array back from the file manager, retain it.

Also, there's no need for filePathsArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; ; filePathsArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; ; since you are about to overwrite it with the returned results.

Answer 2

At line

dirList = filePathsArray;

You put autorelease object into variable 'dirList'. Also you have a memory leak here.
If you need to put any objects from one array to other, use method addObjectsFromArray: . If you need to put other array into variable, use release/retain routine (Memory management in Objective-C)
