Default Concatenate Text Strings over Array

Hello All-

I've made my own round-a-bout way to do this procedure, but every time I
have to change the array it takes a lot of work to correct. In this range;
I3:BD10 there is either text or a "/". I need to concatenate each line of
text and separate each value by a comma. For instance,

Red / Blue / = Red, Blue
/ / Blue / = Blue

What I've done is actually recorded myself going into the cells afterwards
in a helper column and concatenating all of them and then using find/replace
to remove extraneous commas and slashes. But, because of the restrictions to
how many cells you can concatenate I have to use 4 (!) helper columns.

Is there anyway to do this easier - I would want it to say-

"If any row in this array has text that is not a "/", concatenate it and
separate it by a comma in a certain cell."
