Description

The MergeIntoArray filter is a tool of the Conditional Execution mechanism. The operation collects a number of conditional objects and combines them into an array of proper objects, omitting the empty input values.

Examples
inConditionalObject1 = Nil
inConditionalObject2 = Nil
inConditionalObject3 = "Mike"
inConditionalObject4 = "Alice"
inConditionalObject5 = Nil
inConditionalObject6 = "Joanne"
inConditionalObject7 = Nil
inConditionalObject8 = Nil
 outArray = {"Mike", "Alice", "Joanne"}
inConditionalObject1 = Nil
inConditionalObject2 = Nil
inConditionalObject3 = Nil
inConditionalObject4 = Nil
inConditionalObject5 = Nil
inConditionalObject6 = Nil
inConditionalObject7 = Nil
inConditionalObject8 = Nil
 outArray = {}
