    Hi,

    It depends how you want to represent your String[]

    1. If the String[] is a column then you should bind it to the context node with attribute of type String. You can use .bind(List l) method to make it simpler.

    2. If the String[] is just an element of a table I would suggest to flatten it and then present it as a table element.

    Hope it helps.

    Victor.

      Hi Yasir,

      after appending all array elements to the StringBuffer, you get the concatted representation of all strings by the toString() method. Code snippet:

      String[] yourArr = ...;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int ix = 0; ix < yourArr.length; ix++) {
  sb.append(yourArr[ix]);
}
/* Assuming you have a context value attribute of builtin type "string" 
named "concat" on root level of context */
wdContext.currentContextElement().setConcat(sb.toString());

      That's all.

      BTW, does it really make sense to display this in a single column? How does the content of the column look like, if you have 30 Strings of 30 characters length or so??

      Hope that helps anyway.

      Regards

      Stefan
