array.<string>

(inner) recombineStringArrayWithSpaces(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}

Takes an array of strings and recombines them sequentially ith spaces between each array element. This function is needed, because commands parse inputs by spaces ino an array, and some commands need a single continuous string that might be delimited by coma's. So this function lets us recombine and teh re-parse the string with another delimiter.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
inputData array.<string>

The array of strings that should be recombined.

inputMetaData string
