[Rubycocoa-talk] Ruby String Split Method

[Harry M. <har...@go...>]

Sorry if this is an obvious or stupid question, but I have been trying for
some time to find a way of splitting a string into an array so that each
character is a member of the array.

I initially tried using ruby's somearray = somestring.split(//), but I got
an error saying:

NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for //:Regexp

/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/oc_attachments.rb:839:in
`split'

I then tried a Cocoa approach with the componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet but
it gave me an error also.

Am I missing an obvious method of splitting a string into an array?
