You're nearly there, but what you need to do is *append* to the
#updstr field, whereas you are currently overwriting its value with
each iteration of each!
Personally, I would probably do it slightly differently, eg...
$(document).ready(function(){
var upd = [];
$( 'input[name^=rlinehval-]' ).each(function(){
upd.push( $(this).val();
});
$("#updstr").val( upd.join(';') );
});
