                          My bash script:

    #!bin/bash
    MY_ARRAY=("Some string" "Another string")
    function join { local IFS="$1"; shift; echo -e "$*"; }
    join "," ${MY_ARRAY[@]}

I want the output to be:
Some string,Another string.

Instead, I get Some,string,Another,string.

What must I change to get the result I want?
