This function concatenates (joins together) the string representations of all elements in the given array, and returns the result as a new string.
Values that are not strings will have the string() function run on them implicitly. See Conversion From Non-String Types for information on how those data types are converted.
string_concat_ext(values_array, [offset], [length]);
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| values_array | Array | The array of values to concatenate |
| offset | Real | OPTIONAL The offset, or starting index, in the array to start concatenating elements. Setting a negative value will count from the end of the array. The starting index will then be array_length(array) + offset. See: Offset And Length |
| length | Real | OPTIONAL The number of array elements to concatenate, starting at the offset. A negative value will traverse the array backwards (i.e. in descending order of indices, e.g. 2, 1, 0 instead of 2, 3, 4). See: Offset And Length |
var _some_letters = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"];
var _concat = string_concat_ext(_some_letters, -5, -3);
The above code first creates an array with the first ten letters of the alphabet and stores it in a temporary variable _some_letters. It then calls string_concat_ext on this array with an offset (starting position) of -5 (at the position of the letter "f") and a length of -3 (3 elements going from right to left).
