Adding to a string with a While Loop

Question

I am trying to concatenate a string to another string until the last value is reached:

var z = 0;
while(z < columns.length) { 
    url = url + delimiter;
    z++;
    break;
}

This however seems to add my delimiter to the very end of my url, how can this be fixed?

e.g. what I want:

 url|dilimeter|url|dilimeter|url

what I get:

 url|dilimeter|url|dilimeter|url|dilimiter

Note: I have the break statement because this is inside a for loop

You could do:

var z = 0;
var urlParts = [];

while(z < columns.length) { 
    urlParts.push( url );
    z++;
    break;
}

url = urlParts.join( delimiter );
