It looks like you're trying to build an array, each element of which is a
single character from your string. What you've actually got here is two
arrays both each holding a single string.

this would build an array with an element for each character. However you
can quickly compare this strings in the way you want without resorting to
arrays. I've posted an answer to a similar question on this list here...
