Reference a UILabel name as a variable

If I have a UILabel:

USD_time.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %.2dm %.2ds", pre, min, sec];

Is it possible to reference the UILabel as a variable?

Ex:

NSString *myLabel = @"USD_time";
myLabel.text =  [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %.2dm %.2ds", pre, min, sec];

I know this does not work, I am unsure what the proper format would be. Also I am unsure what this is called.

Thank so much.

Think it simple. Take an object UILabel *myLabel, then take a NSString object NSString *myLabelText. Then put myLabelText=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %.2dm %.2ds", pre, min, sec]; After that set this text to your label like myLabel.Text=myLabelText
