Button to Recognize Selected Path - iphone

Question

Trying to have a button confirm the index selected in a tableview with a special class. This is how I would NSLog the result of the selected index.
- (void)selector:(IZValueSelectorView *)valueSelector didSelectRowAtIndex:(NSInteger)index {
NSLog(#"Selected index %d",index);
}
but I'm not sure how I'd confirm that with a button since the button uses an IBAction.
I want an alert to pop up once they click the button. This is what I have so far, but I get an error since it doesn't recognize what index means:
- (IBAction)submit:(id)sender {
UIAlertView *submit = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Submit"
message:(#"Are you sure you want to submit %i", index)
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"No"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[submit show];
}

If I understood your question correctly, you want to be able to select a row, and then press a button somewhere, to confirm that you selected it, and you don't know how to get the selected index, correct?
If you have an IBOutlet pointing to the tableView, you can get the selected index path, using:
self.myTableView.indexPathForSelectedRow
Or his cousin, indexPathsForSelectedRows for multiple selection
Also, be noted, that if you have a UIButton inside a cell, and you tap on the button, it doesn't mean that the cell will get selected. Selection occurs when the cell gets touched-up inside (aka. it gets blue coloured).
Of course, the cleanest and easiest method, would to avoid using a button entirely, and just using the UITableViewDelegate method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
// Do the UIAlertView thing here
}
