How do you join lines in a container so it becomes one line, so you can use split?

Wouldn't this just show you the last entry in the keywords?  The keys 
in keywords, also, are not going to be in the same order as keys in 
split.  (I'm really a Revolution mostly-lurker, and just jumping in 
because I'm about to do some split/combine.  Maybe the message boxes 
are different.)

This little test worked as I expected:

on mouseUp
   put field "Input" into theArray
   split theArray by LF and "|"
   put keys(theArray) into theKeys
   put theKeys & LF into field "Report"
   combine theArray by LF and "|"
   put theArray after field "Report"
  -- From Sadhu's code...
   repeat for each line x in theKeys
     put x && " :---: " && theArray[x] & cr
   end repeat
end mouseUp
