NSIS is currently missing array support. There are only single-dimensional variables, no arrays or structures of any kind.
A feature request has been submitted to fix this issue and add array support to NSIS [1].
Meanwhile, two solutions have been created by Afrow UK, to work with arrays in NSIS:
Array Header File
The Array header (nsh) file is a collection of macros and functions that simulates arrays in native NSIS, but has been superseded by the NSISArray plug-in, which is faster, uses less resources and offers more advanced options (below).
NSISArray plug-in
The plug-in features full array support for NSIS, though not with native commands. The .dll file handles everything related to the arrays on runtime.

Also includes documentation and example files
