TableView buttons and Director

Hello,
I am - obviously - new to Corona and to programming in general. I am trying to figure out if Corona is suitable for my first iOS project.

My specific question here is in regards to using Director in combination with Listview. I used (maybe abused) the Coffee TableView example to create a list from a table which generates buttons in every row.
I would like to change a global variable (_G.fileName) before switching back to the previous screen. It works when I hard-code a new file name into the buttonSelectRelease function, but how do I let the function know the correct file name for each button in my list?

Thanks for your help.

Best, Oliver
