How to save [AnyObject]! return from Parse into NSArray

Question

I am using parse to query all entries in a class using:

let query = PFQuery(className: "TestClass")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (objects: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
//completion
}

I check each entry to see what is inside using:

for object in objects{
                        println(object)
                   }

The result is the following

<TestClass: 0x16e89300, objectId: QmGNNqUskK, localId: (null)> {
    property1 = 300;
    property2 = 1;
    property3 = "test";
}

My question is how do I save each object in objects in a seperate NSDictionary that will later be stored in a NSArray?

i.e. Array of DIctionaries

Hey Nick,

Just wondering what the use case for this is. What I would do is to make a separate key for each returned value, for instance,

var dictionaryReturned: NSMutableDictionay = [:]
for object in objects{
                        //Not sure what the method is but something along these lines
                        dictionaryReturned.addObject(Object: object, key: valueRetuned)
}

what i normally do in my apps is add it to and array so,

var arayReturned: NSMutableArray = []
for object in objects{
               arayReturned.addObject(object)
}

hope this helps a bit, Kai Aldag
