I assume StringJoin and StringSplit are one of the basic operations
on Array of Strings and Strings. It looks like there is no easy way
to use TStringList (that is claimed by the wiki to be a fancy
"dynamic array or set of Strings"). These are not CSV-kind of
functionalities... <br>
Are these functionalities implemented in rtl?<br>

In Conversion to and from delimited strings

section, it claims the following code works if the separator is
a string:
<br>
MyStringList:= TStringList.create;
<br>
MyStringList.SkipLastLineBreak := True;
<br>
MyStringList.add('1');
<br>
MyStringList.add('2');
<br>
MyStringList.add('3');
<br>
result := StringReplace(MyStringList.Text,Lineending,'\n',
[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
<br>
<br>
I believe this is not correct. What if there is a
newline(LineEnding) in one of the strings?

It will also be replaced. So yes, the code is wrong for such a
case.
<br>
<br>
TStringlist is not a silver bullet, and it is definitely not a
replacement
<br>
for CSV-kind of functionality. If someone needs CSV, (s)he should
use the TCSVDocument class.
