Save UITableView names to array on button action - xcode

Question

I want to save the names that are filled in UITableView to an array
var mineSpillere = [String]()
How can I do this on buttonAction?
This is button action for how i add names to tableview:
#IBAction func addButtonAction(sender: AnyObject) {
mineSpillere.append(namesTextBox.text)
myTableView.reloadData()
}
and also here code:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell:UITableViewCell = self.myTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as! UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel!.text = self.mineSpillere[indexPath.row]
return cell;
}
That only when I press the "back" button in the application, the names from the UITableView will be saved in an array.
I am going to access these names from another view controller also, so i need them to be saved as an array.

Okay so it looks like you have all the data in the mineSpillere array already as you're using cell.textLabel!.text = self.mineSpillere[indexPath.row] so to get that array back to the first view controller. You could use the following code in the view controller that is being presented when the 'back' button is being pressed:
class FirstViewController: UIViewController,SecondViewControllerDelegate {
var mineSpillereCopyFromSecondVC = [String]()
func presentSecondViewController() {
// Im not sure the class name for you're second view
// where the tableView is located.
var secondVC: SecondViewController = SecondViewController();
secondVC.delegate = self
// Also not too sure on how you're presenting the `SecondViewController` so I'm goingg to leave that empty.
// The important part is just above us.
}
func passMineSpillere(mineSpillere: [String]) {
// This class now has the mineSpiller array of name.
self.mineSpillereCopyFromSecondVC = mineSpillere
}
}
And then in you SecondViewController where the tableView is located you could add the following code.
import UIKit
protocol SecondViewControllerDelegate {
func passMineSpillere(mineSpillere:[String])
}
class SecondViewController: UIViewController {
var delegate: SecondViewControllerDelegate?
var mineSpillere = [String]()
// This will be called when the 'back' button is pressed.
override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
// Pass the mineSpillere array back to the delegate
// which is the firstViewController instance.
self.delegate?.passMineSpillere(self.mineSpillere)
}
}
