Swipe to Cancel intstead of delete in UITableView

Question

I am using the following code to show a delete button when the user swipes the tableview cell. I want to write Cancel instead of Delete in this button, how can i achieve this functionality??

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
  return YES;
}

And

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
  if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
    //remove the deleted object from your data source.
    //If you're data source is an NSMutableArray, do this
    [self.dataArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
  }
}

If all you want to do is change the title of the button to "Cancel", then just implement the -tableView:titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath: method in your table view's delegate.

-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return @"Cancel";
}
