cl_print does not returns a string, it returns the object printed.
In your case, it returns the array.

Use cl_format as mentionned in the other mail. However, keep in mind
that ECL string objects are not always null terminated (e.g. adjustable
strings). From experience, I know that cl_format *can* return non
null-terminated string. To convert it to a regular C string, use 
ecl_null_terminated_string() function, which returns a ECL strign object
that is null terminated.
