Hi there! Anyone know how to import existing element to an array?

example:

existing element already have in a variable:
var temp = ("a", "b", "c");

i want to import the element from variable "temp" into array "char"

var char = new Array (temp); //error! i want this format
var char = new Array ("a", "b", "c"); //default array

It is possible to do that? Thanks a million! I'm appreaciate all kind of help.

Some ideas, you will need to imlplement print function, i.e. change it to "alert" if running in a browser:

Code:

var temp = new Array("a", "b", "c");
var copy = temp;
//For simple string arrays:
//var clone = temp.join("|").split("|");
//For more complex arrays:
var clone = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < temp.length; i++)
{
  clone[i] = temp[i];
}
print("temp: " + temp.toString());
print("copy: " + copy.toString());
print("clone: " + clone.toString()); 
copy[0] = "d";
print("temp: " + temp.toString());
print("copy: " + copy.toString());
print("clone: " + clone.toString()); 
clone[0] = "e";
print("temp: " + temp.toString());
print("copy: " + copy.toString());
print("clone: " + clone.toString()); 

var arr1 = new Array(["a", 0], ["b", 1], ["c", 2]);
var arr2 = arr1;
var arr3 = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++)
{
  arr3[i] = arr1[i];
}
print("arr1: " + arr1.toString());
print("arr2: " + arr2.toString());
print("arr3: " + arr3.toString());
arr2[0] = ["d", 4];
print("arr1: " + arr1.toString());
print("arr2: " + arr2.toString());
print("arr3: " + arr3.toString());
