Download one array from Parse

Quite a simple question really but can't find the answer anywhere.

On the Parse data browser, there are lots of users and they each have an array with a bunch of string values, how do i download just one of these arrays from just one user into an NSArray of string values?

Thanks in advance.

Do you know the objectId of the user? or the username? Say it's the username:

PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"User"];
[query whereKey:@"username" equalTo:@"Vladimir Putin"];
[query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
    if (!error) {
        if (objects.count) {
            PFUser *vladimir = objects[0];
            NSLog(@"Putins strings are %@" [vladimir objectForKey:@"theArrayColumn"]);
        } else {
            // where are you Vlad?
        }
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@ %@", error, [error userInfo]);
    }
}];

It's easier if you know the object id. Then use getObjectInBackgroundWithId: instead of find. (To be clear, you'll be downloading the object and it's array property. There's no way that I know of to get just a property).
