Match TableViewCell's Label from other TableViewCell's Label - ios

Question

My problem is little complicated to define for me, even I understand what I am trying to do, I try my best to write this problem to understandable, guide me if I lack anything in question description.
So the problem is that I have a UITableView inside a UITableViewCell, both of UITableViews have custom UITableViewCell classes. Datasource and delegate of both outer an dinner UITableView's are in same class. I am handling the data array like this
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
if (tableView==self.mainTableView) {
return titleArray.count;
}
return timeArray.count;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (tableView==self.mainTableView)
{
MainTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWitentifier:#"cell"];
cell.label.text = [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
InnerTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell"];
cell.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
return cell;
}
My custom cell's description
Main UITableViewCell cusotm class properties - UILabel (eg.
myLabel),UITableView(inside)
Inside UITableViewCell custom class properties - UIView (eg.
myView)
Now I want to show myView only on that cell when 'myLabel' matches with my array of string object. for eg.
if([myLabel.text isEqualTostring:#"22"]){
cell.myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
For eg. if I have 5 views and 2 label, now 2 rows in Main UITableView and 5 rows in inside UITableView but every view should be in the outer cell
only if it matches the myLabel'text.
P.S Don't think about where matching data coming from its not an issue issue of matching data.
As a final conclusion I want to create different row count for each inner UITableView cell.

Did you tried this?
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if( tableView == self.mainTableView )
{
MainTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWitentifier:#"cell"];
cell.label.text = [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
InnerTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell"];
MainTableViewCell *parentCell = (MainTableViewCell*)cell.superView;
NSIndexPath *parentIndexPath = [self.mainTableView indexPathForCell:parentCell];
NSString *text = [dataArray objectAtIndex:parentIndexPath.row];
if( [text isEqualTostring:#"22"] //your condition goes here
{
cell.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
else
{
cell.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}
return cell;
}
