In which method you are trying to retrieve the text? I think you have to set delegate for your textfield and retrieve the text from this delegate method -(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField

NSString *textValue=((UITextField *)[self.view viewWithTag:104]).text;

You do like this,

 UITextField *urtextFiled = (UITextField *)[self.view viewWithTag:104];
NSString *textValue=[urtextFiled text];

You can retrive your textfield like this and when you got your required textfield ,then get text.

    UITableViewCell *myCell = (UITableViewCell *)[*yourTableViewName* cellForRowAtIndexPath:*passindexPath*]];
    UITextField *mytextFiled = (UITextField *)[myCell viewWithTag:104];

the direct answer to your question is to use viewWithTag. In your example, [cell viewWithTag:105] will give you the text field. That said, your example has other issues.

First, if you can access the cell and the cell has a txtField property than you don't need the tag. Just use cell.txtField when you have the cell. Tags are typically used when you don't have a property holding a reference to the view you need. If you can't access the cell, the tag won't help you.

Second, you shouldn't add subviews directly to the cell. Instead you should add them to the cells contentView. The docs explain how to create a custom UITableViewCell fairly well.
