Hi,
I have a class (JCDataCollector) which I use to collect a large amount
of data from the users machine. JCDataCollector has a
publicly-accessible method named
"collectData:usingFile:shouldLogOutput:". This method is very
resource-intensive, and I would like to move it onto its own thread.

So far, I have been able to call the method using NSThread's
"detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:" functionality.

However, I cannot find a way to return the data collected in my
"collectData:usingFile:shouldLogOutput:" method to the object which
originally detached the thread selector.

Also, my "collectData:usingFile:shouldLogOutput:" method takes
multiple arguments, but NSThread's
"detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:" only allows one
parameter to be passed. Short of storing all the parameters in an
NSArray, is there any way to pass multiple parameters while calling
"detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:"?

Thanks very much,
John Cassington
