**implode** ( [[arrays|variable[]]] , [[stringexpressions|row_delimiter_expression]], [[stringexpressions|column_delimiter_expression]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 ... }]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 ... }]] , [[stringexpressions|delimiter_expression]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 ... }]] , [[stringexpressions|row_delimiter_expression]], [[stringexpressions|column_delimiter_expression]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ {x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3} ... }]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ {x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3} ... }]] , [[stringexpressions|delimiter_expression]] )\\
**implode** ( [[Lists|{ {x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x3, y3} ... }]] , [[stringexpressions|row_delimiter_expression]], [[stringexpressions|column_delimiter_expression]] )\\

returns [[stringexpressions|string_expression]]

==== Description ====
Append the elements in an array into a string.  Optionally placing the [[stringexpressions|delimiter_expression]] between the elements.  This is functionally the opposite of the [[Explode|Explode]] function.

==== Example ====
<code>
dim a$(1)
dim b(1)
a$ = Explode("How now brown cow"," ")
print implode(a$[],"-")
print implode(a$[])
b = Explode("1,2,3.33,4.44,5.55",",")
print implode(b[],", ")
print implode(b[])
</code>
will display
<code>
How-now-brown-cow
Hownowbrowncow
1, 2, 3.33, 4.44, 5.55
123.334.445.55
</code>
