Javascript, convert an array to a string like so

Question

I want to convert an array to a sting so that visually it is just the same but with quote marks around it.

For example:

array= [1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]

goes to =>  "[1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]"

I tried String(array) but this just punches through all the brackets to give me:

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Thanks

You could use JSON.stringify

JSON.stringify(array);

The JSON.stringify() method converts a JavaScript value to a JSON string, optionally replacing values if a replacer function is specified, or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array is specified.

Use JSON.stringify

array= [1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
console.log(JSON.stringify(array));

Use JSON.stringify

console.log(JSON.stringify([1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]));

Try

array = array.join(",");
array = array.split(",");
array = array.join("");

This should take care of the sub-arrays.
