Help formating a String

[riouken 15]

I have a string of an array

the string ends up looking like this:

["1","2","3","4"]

is there any way to format this and take the [] out?

I also need it to be dynamic, I do not know how long the string will be each time.

Hi,

to get a string out of it I would do:

thearray = ["1","2","3","4"];
thestring = format ["%1,%2,%3,%4", thearray select 0, thearray select 1, thearray select 2, thearray select 3];

To do this dynamic.. I don´t know. You can get the number of array elements with

count thearray

I don´t know about string manipulation in arma/sqf.

EDIT: Wasn´t that hard:

thearray = ["1","2","3","4","5"];
_string = "";

for "_i" from 0 to (count thearray) -1 do
{

   _string1 = format ["%1,", thearray select _i];
   _string = _string + _string1;

};

hint _string;

EDIT2: And if you want to get rid of the last comma:

thearray = ["1","2","3"];
_string = "";

for "_i" from 0 to (count thearray) -1 do
{
   if (_i == ((count thearray) -1)) then 
   {
       _string1 = format ["%1", thearray select _i];
       _string = _string + _string1;
   }else 
   {
       _string1 = format ["%1,", thearray select _i];
       _string = _string + _string1;
   };
};

hint _string;
