Try:
help,string(numarray,format='(3A)')
(no loop ;-)
Cheers,
Martin
PS: In case you don't know the array dimension exactly, the format
method also
works:
help,string(numarray,format='(9999A)')
But don't go beyond 32767!
And here is another (academic) solution:
help,string(reform(byte(string(numarray)),24))

Now here (I feel pretty darn confident) is the perfect
opportunity to use a loop in IDL. :-)
