NSIS is currently missing array support. There are only fixed length 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].
Array Header File
The Array header (nsh) file is a collection of macros and functions that simulates arrays in native NSIS (link at the bottom). This is no longer supported. You should use one of the plug-ins below instead...
nsArray plug-in
A much simpler and smaller DLL than NSISArray (below). Provides less out-of-the-box functionality but is faster and uses less memory. Supports any number of named dynamic arrays, value getting, setting, insertion, removal, copying, joining and sorting (via quick sort algo.).

NSISArray plug-in
The plug-in features full dynamic array support for NSIS, though not with native commands. The .dll file handles everything related to the arrays on runtime while the NSISArray script header adds friendly scripting syntax for working with arrays that masks the plug-in's function calls.

Stack plug-in
Allows you to manipulate the NSIS run-time stack while also creating your own private stacks.
