Major Description
When working with arrays, there are times where it would be very beneficial to take the results of an array generating functions such as collect_set and convert that to a delimited string for text processing. In Perlish Pseudo code, the function would work as follows:
sub array_join($delimiter (string), @input_array(array)){
my $outputvar = '';
foreach my $array_item(@input_array)
$outputvar =~ s/$delimeter$//;
return $outputvar;
}
Basically, pass the function a string to delimit items, and the array, and return the results. Perhaps there can be a limit of sum sort imposted on the return string to alleviate memory concerns, maybe that limit could be defaulted, and then overridden.
