Hi,

I have two arrays, as follows:

Array1=(
date 11/01/2008 newstuff1,
date 10/27/2008 newstuff2,
date 10/24/2008 newstuff3
)

Array2=(
date 11/01/2008 oldstuff1,
date 10/31/2008 oldstuff2,
date 10/30/2008 oldstuff3,
date 10/29/2008 oldstuff4,
date 10/28/2008 oldstuff5,
date 10/27/2008 oldstuff6,
date 10/26/2008 oldstuff7,
date 10/25/2008 oldstuff8,
date 10/24/2008 oldstuff9,
date 10/23/2008 oldstuff10
)

How do I combine the arrays so that the the "newstuff" in array1 gets
appended only to an item in array2 if the dates match?
In other words:

Array3=(
date 11/01/2008 oldstuff1 and newstuff1,
date 10/31/2008 oldstuff2,
date 10/30/2008 oldstuff3,
date 10/29/2008 oldstuff4,
date 10/28/2008 oldstuff5,
date 10/27/2008 oldstuff6 and newstuff2,
date 10/26/2008 oldstuff7,
date 10/25/2008 oldstuff8,
date 10/24/2008 oldstuff9 and newstuff3,
date 10/23/2008 oldstuff10
)

All I can figure out is how to append array2 onto array1 and vice
versa, but that just doesn't work for my project.
