This example uses REPLICATE to create a 4-by-3 string array. Each element of the array contains the string "string".

strs = REPLICATE("string", 4, 3)
INFO, strs

STRS                STRING                 = Array(4, 3)

PRINT, strs

string       string       string       string
string       string       string       string
string       string       string       string
