Let me add details to my previous question.
I want to output nodes whose contents are Array or Bundle as if they were viewed on a tree display screen.

@KSugai, where would you display those elements? A dashboard, a graphical user interface or by window pop up showing a part of a sub tree of nodes?
I would like to store them in a bundle table node on the tree and display them on the GUI.
You can point the table widget to the bundle table - doesn't that work for you? Post an example if not, explaining in more detail what you've like to see, vs. what is shown.

Sorry for the late reply due to the company being closed during the year-end and New Year holidays.
What I really want to do is store Array or Table type information in a bundle cell.
I know that Array or Table type can be directly stored in a non-bundle table. However, I would like to store them somehow in a bundle table since the data table may contain hundreds of thousands of rows.
To do this, I am thinking of converting Array and Table to string and storing them in bundle cells in the format that is displayed when returning Array or Table in the script console.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to convert data to string like this.

You can try using the JSON methods:
- Array test=[1,2,3];
- return JSON.stringify(test);
and
- string s="[1,2,3]";
- return JSON.parse(s);

Thank you for your reply.
I tried JSON methods and found that ASCII characters can be converted to string as intended.
However, multibyte characters are converted to Unicode escape sequences.
I understand that it can be restored with JSON.parse(), but I would like the user to be able to understand the contents by just looking at the string.
If there is a way to convert multibyte characters to string, please let me know.

You could concatenate with a delimeter into a single string to store in the bundle
- Array a=["a","b","c"];
- return a.join(","); // "a,b,c"
and then when you need the array of values use the string method 'split' to generate the array.
- string s="a,b,c";
- return s.split(","); // ["a","b","c"]
