If possible I would like to combine two different character arrays

Array1 <- c("height","weight","age","sex")

such ...
Array3
"height.trt0.trt1"
"height.trt0.trt2"
"weight.trt0.trt1"
"weight.trt0.trt2"
"age.trt0.trt1"
"age.trt0.trt2"
"sex.trt0.trt1"
"sex.trt0.trt2"
?expand.grid # and noting that "trt0" is handled differently than
Array2[2:3]

expand.grid(Array1, Array2[2:3])[,2], sep=".")
[1] "height.trt0.trt1" "weight.trt0.trt1" "age.trt0.trt1"
"sex.trt0.trt1" "height.trt0.trt2"
[6] "weight.trt0.trt2" "age.trt0.trt2" "sex.trt0.trt2"
