Copying Arrays
To assign one array to another, you must individually assign the elements, for example

Copying to a Collection
A Collection object can also be used although to populate the collection you need to loop through the array.
This might be a good solution if you need to perform multiple searches in the same data set.
JOIN(sourcearray [,delimiter])
You can use the JOIN to return a text string containing all the elements in an array.
This function can be used to very quickly check if two arrays are identical
This comparison method is case sensitive.
Looping Through
You can loop through each array and compare each value to every value in the other array.
