How to split string into 2 parts after certain position

Question

For example I have some random string:

str = \"26723462345\"

And I want to split it in 2 parts after 6-th char. How to do this correctly?

Answer 1

The best way IMO is string.scan(/.{6}/)

irb(main)> str
=> "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
irb(main)> str.scan(/.{13}/)
=> ["abcdefghijklm", "nopqrstuvwxyz"]
