fxruby users - Aug 2009 - Best way to brake up a string within FXruby?

Hi I have a string inside a FXList that is seperated into columns by spaces.

I will have a need to put this data into editable controls when ever the user
clicks on a line.
I thought of using the ruby split('' '') command.

The way i was going to do this was to have it setup like this...

control.text, control.text... = ALine.split('' '')

but i got a error referring to split as being private!
Is there a better way of doing this?

I have googled but for the present i have not found anything meaningful.

anyone able to help?

dave.

Are you sure ALine is a String?

Nataraj S Narayan & David MacMahon,
Thanks for your quick reply.

David,
Yes Aline is a string as it is actually obtained from fxlist and has data like
Job No, Date, Time (PC system obtained) plus other entries but i am wanting to
ADD to the list.

Nataraj,

Didn''t think of doing this!
as i''d just thought these would be in as a system function of FXruby.
Lession learnt :)
many thanks to you both.

Maybe it''s stupid, but did you try to just make *sure* it''s
string by
calling its to_s method?
