sMyValues is string
// Initial array
MyArray is array of 3 strings
MyArray[1] = "A"
MyArray[2] = "B"
MyArray[3] = "C"
sMyValues = ArrayToCSV(MyArray)
// sMyValues contains: "A" + CR + "B" + CR + "C"

// Two-dimensional array
sMyValues is string
// Initial array
MyArray is array of 2 by 3 strings
MyArray[1,1] = "A"; MyArray[1,2] = "B"
MyArray[1,3] = "C"; MyArray[2,1] = "D"
MyArray[2,2] = "E"; MyArray[2,3] = "F"

sMyValues = ArrayToCSV(MyArray)
// sMyValues contains: "A;B;C"+CR+"D;E;F"

Syntax

<Result> = ArrayToCSV(<WLanguage array> [, <Column separator>])

<Result>: Character string

Character string containing the different values found in the array.
For a one-dimensional array, the array elements are converted into character string and added into the string while being separated by CR characters (Carriage Return).
For a two-dimensional array, the array elements are converted into character string and added into the string. The rows are separated by CR characters (Carriage Return) and the columns are separated by <Column separator>.

<WLanguage array>: Array variable

Name of one-dimensional or two-dimensional array that will be converted into character string. This array must be created.

<Column separator>: Optional character string

Separator used to separate the values of different columns. The column separator used by default is ";".

Remarks

The separator used in the <Result> to separates the values found on different lines is CR (Carriage Return).
The structure arrays supported are the one-dimensional arrays only.
The arrays containing UNICODE strings or variants are not supported.
For the Duration type, the value is converted into thousands of a second.
