How to pass a view controller to an object in an array?

[AYamout23]

So I have this object in my array: @"Beginner Knowledge"
And then I'm putting it in a cell in a table.

When a user clicks on a cell, I push a view controller.
The view controller's name is the object in the array and appending it by "ViewController".

Apparently because of the space between Beginner and Knowledge, I can't seem to make that work for that object.

Any suggestions?

I'm confused as to what you mean. You mean that you push a viewcontroller and the nib name is that object plus viewcontroller? If so that is a HORRIBLE way to design your app. A much better way is to design a view controller that has one xib, and then you create a custom init method for it lke [viewcontroller initWithObject:]; and that would also fix your problem. Read the apple docs theyre very helpful and specific on the best way to do this

What if each of them has a different kind of view controller?
All the apple docs show you how to do one with similar view controllers, and just the text changes or something.

Thats because thats what makes the most sense its much more efficient and if you display completely dif view controllers for each one then it visually feels different for the user. But if its only that one that messes you up, just do a check and then hard code if you absolutley need to. -

if ([cell.text isEqualTo:@"This Thing") {
//init new view controller with special name
}

but thats very inefficient code
