Thanks,  always wondered where that thing was hiding.

One thing I thought i'd mention on why you may want to use 'Flatten to String' over typecasting is that the typecast primitive does not seem to accept a cluster whereas the 'Flatten To String' primitive does (and anything else you throw at it.)

Actually, typecast accepts certain clusters just fine (either as data input or type input) as long as the cluster does not contain arrays or strings, for example.

If you have a cluster that has a fixed data size, it's OK. (e.g. try a cluster of booleans and numerics)

Ahh, good to know, I was throwing in a cluster of arrays as you might guess.
