Let say  I have a 2D array;
myarray[1][1]="A"
myarray[1][2]="B"
myarray[1][3]="C"
myarray[2][1]="D"
myarray[3][1]="E"
myarray[3][2]="F"
.
.
myarray[n]="x"

From the 2D array above I want to create 1D array (nextarray),

nextarray[1]=myarray[1][1]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][1]+...+myarray[m]
nextarray[2]=myarray[1][1]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][2]+...+myarray[m][j]
nextarray[3]=myarray[1][2]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][1]+...+myarray[m][k]
nextarray[4]=myarray[1][2]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][2]+...+myarray[m][l]
nextarray[5]=myarray[1][3]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][1]+...+myarray[m][m]
nextarray[6]=myarray[1][3]+myarray[2][1]+myarray[3][2]+...+myarray[m][o]
.
.
nextarray[n]=myarray[1][a]+myarray[2][ b]+myarray[3][c]+.....+myarray[m][d]

so that I would get, for example,
nextarray[1]=ADE
nextarray[2]=ADF
nextarray[3]=BDE
nextarray[4]=BDF
.
. ... and so on,

ArrayLen for the result should be ArrayLen(nextarray)=ArrayLen(myarray[1]) *
ArrayLen(myarray[2] )* ArrayLen(myarray[3]) * .... * ArrayLen(myarray[n])

This would involve nested loop right? can anyone show me how to make that
loop(s)?

Any help would be aapreciated
Thank You
