Splitting a string by x number of lines

Ruby
1

I am trying to figure out how to split a string into chunks of 25
lines or less to pass to another function

Any ideas on how I could approach this?

thanks,

Luis

string.scan(/(?:.*?\n){1,25}/)

I think you can get with this:

def split_newlines(str, num_lines)
result,prev,index = 0,0,0
array = []

until result.nil?
result = str.index(“\n”, result)
unless result.nil?
index += 1
array << str[prev…result] if index%num_lines==0
result += 1
end
prev = result if index%num_lines==0 and result
end
array << str[prev…str.size] unless prev == str.size
end

But it seems too complicated for me.
I’m sure there is a very better approach but I’m not an experienced ruby
programmer. I like very much to see better responses for learn
something.
