Re: adding string arrays together

Not sure of the question.

If all arr[1-4] are the same size then
   big_array = ndtooned( (/arr1,arr2,arr3,arr4/) )

-----

If all are different sizes ... *untested*

function combine(arr1[*]:string, arr2[*]:string \
                 ,arr3[*]:string, arr4[*]:string )
local N1, N2, N3, N4, NN, nStrt, nLast, big
begin
   N1 = dimsizes(arr1)
   N2 = dimsizes(arr2)
   N3 = dimsizes(arr3)
   N4 = dimsizes(arr4)
   NN = N1 + N2 + N3 + N4

   big = new (NN,"string")
   nStrt= 0
   nLast= N1-1
   big(nStrt:nLast) = arr1

   nStrt = nLast+1
   nLast = nStrt+N2-1
   big(nStrt:nLast) = arr2

   nStrt = nLast+1
   nLast = nStrt+N3-1
   big(nStrt:nLast) = arr3

   nStrt = nLast+1
   nLast = nStrt+N4-1
   big(nStrt:nLast) = arr4

   return(big)
end

   big_array = combine(arr1, arr2, arr3, arr4)

Good Luck
