Concatenating elements in an array to a string

Question

I\'m confused a bit. I couldn\'t find the answer anywhere ;(

I\'ve got an String array:

String[] arr = [\"1\", \"2\", \"3\"];

then

Answer 1

Here is a way to do it: Arrays.toString(array).substring(1,(3*array.length-1)).replaceAll(", ","");

Here is a demo class:

package arraytostring.demo;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Array2String {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

                String[] array = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7" };
                System.out.println(array2String(array));
                // output is: 1234567
        }

        public static String array2String(String[] array) {

                return Arrays.toString(array).substring(1, (3 * array.length - 1))
                                .replaceAll(", ", "");

        }

}

Scala makes this easier, cleaner and safer:

scala> val a = Array("1", "2", "3")
a: Array[String] = Array(1, 2, 3)

scala> val aString = a.mkString
aString: String = 123

scala> println(aString)
123
