You might want to take a look at this, I know it has an array function.

[TOOL] CSLIB - ChoiceScript Library

[banner] A compass for the maze. Hi all! @cjw, @choicehacker, and I would like to introduce to you CSLIB v0.1! CSLIB is a high-quality collection of helpful routines/functions (known collectively as a “library”) for ChoiceScript.

I’m going to merge this thread into Twiger’s thread (as that solution came along first). It’s good to have another reference implementation though, thank you for sharing.
