Method: Array#join

Defined in:
lib/webget_ruby_ramp/array.rb

#join(*fixes) ⇒ Object

Concatenate the items into a string by join.

Typical Array#join with infix

list=['a','b','c']
list.join("*") => "a*b*c"

Improved join with infix, prefix, suffix

list=['a','b','c']
list.join("*","[","]") => "[a]*[b]*[c]"

Improved join with just prefix and suffix

list=['a','b','c']
list.join("[","]") => "[a][b][c]"
