We load the result of a DPL query into an array and print that array using a different separator. The trick is to use a special separator in the format statement of your DPL query (in this example we use °, i.e. the degree symbol).
See [1] to learn what you can do with the ArrayExternsion ...
{{#arraydefine:x|{{#replace:
{{#dpl:
|titlematch=B%
|count=10
|format=,%TITLE%,°,
}}|/°$/|}}|°}}
{{#arrayprint:x|---}}
DPL produces the following wikitext as output (which is fed into #arraydefine ..):
{{Extension DPL}}Bruxelles city°Bug Apo°Boolean°Bug Apo 3°Bug'Apo 4°Berlin°Bob Jones Out Sick°Bug SQL 1064°Berliner Mauer°Berlin Wall°
Note that the array definition contains a final separator symbol which creates an empty array element at the end of the array. We can throw that element away using #arrayslice or we delete the final separation character using #replace.
So the following output is produced:
{{#arraydefine:x|{{#replace: Bruxelles city°Bug Apo°Boolean°Bug Apo 3°Bug'Apo 4°Berlin°Bob Jones Out Sick°Bug SQL 1064°Berliner Mauer°Berlin Wall°|/°$/|}}|°}} {{#arrayprint:x|---}}
