Hi Folks,

What is the easiest way to convert an array on a payload into a string of the array values with a separating character between each value?

Thanks

Paul

I would recommend a [Function Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/function/) with something similar to this:

```auto
myArray = payload.data.myArray; // ['red', 'blue', 'green']
payload.data.myString = myArray.join(','); // "red,blue,green"

```

Check out MDN for more details on the [Array.join](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/join) function.

I could see adding this as a potential feature to our existing [Array Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/array/).
