I have a ruby array like ['12','34','35','231'].

I want to convert it to a string like '12','34','35','231'.

How can I do that?

I'll join the fun with:

['12','34','35','231'].join(', ')

EDIT:

"'#{['12','34','35','231'].join("', '")}'"

Some string interpolation to add the first and last single quote :P
