Saving reference to UITableViewCell

I have 5 cells in a tableview that are all custom. Meaning, I've created a xib with a tableviewcell and created a corresponding cellController. The xib has two labels named name and size. The user taps a row, triggering didSelectRowAtIndexPath. From there a timer is started. At some point the timer finishes. Here I need to assign text to the selected cell's name label. How do I get the selected cell reference and keep it for assigning? Or, is there a better way to do it?

The UITableView instance method 

-(UITableViewCell*) cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*)indexPath

will allow you to get a pointer to the cell.

Simply store the row+section info from NSIndexPath argument of the didSelectRowAtIndexPath event. Then, when the timer finishes, build a new NSIndexPath and call cellForRowAtIndexPath. Also be prepared for it to return nil if the cell is no longer in view.
