Using array values in xpath

Hi to everyone. I want to do a for cycle with elements defined by an xpath. The values that the for cycle uses are defined in an array. How can I insert the elements of the array in the xpath?

pageParameterDevice.FindElement("//tr[@id='rowPar2']/td[contains(@class, 'valdev')]").contentText

The value that has to change is 'rowPar2' (from rowPar1 to rowPar737)

Thanks in advance

    Something like this?

     

    function TestIt()
{
    var rowPar = [
        "rowPar1",
        "rowPar2",
        "rowPar3",
        "rowPar4",
        "rowPar5"
    ];
    
    for (var i = 0; i < rowPar.length; i++) {
        var str = "//tr[@id='" + rowPar[i] + "']/td[contains(@class, 'valdev')]";
        //pageParameterDevice.FindElement(str).contentText
        Log.Message(str);
    }
}

    Construct the string, and then pass the str into FindElement()
