toString (array)

Task Purpose

The toString (array) task is used to return a string representing the contents of a given array. The string representation contains each array element separated by a comma. The task returns null if the array is empty.

Potential Use Case

This task returns a string with all the array values, separated by commas. If a recent query into a ticketing database has populated an array with open ticket numbers, you could use this method to convert the array and send an email that contains a comma separated list of those ticket numbers.

Parameters

Input and output parameters are shown below.

Example

In the example below, the input variable (arr) is shown in the Task History, which is accessed from Jobs in Operations Manager.

The return variable shows each element in the array separated by a comma. In this example, no white space is used since we did not set a spacer variable.
