um, you want to take something that is basically an array, cram it all into a comma separated string so you can use split to put it back into an array again?
I'm really confused why you want to do things that way Perhaps if you were to explain exactly what it is that you are trying to accomplish (at a slightly higher level) we could suggest a best approach it is sort of a 'ruby language' type question, but since it's in the context of dealing with select list options and values, the answer is likely to be of value to the group.
