I'm looking to take something like
/123/456/789
/0ab/cde/fgh
/ijk/lmn/opq

and turn it into an array like
[["123","456","789"][...][...]]

everything besides the /'s will be digits. I've been trying to solve it
using regular expressions, but I'm still very unfamiliar with them.
Also, there may be more or less '/###' sections than three, and they
might contain more than or less than three digits.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

irb(main):001:0> "/123/456/789/0ab/cde/fgh/ijk/lmn/opq".split("/")
=> ["", "123", "456", "789", "0ab", "cde", "fgh", "ijk", "lmn", "opq"]

HTH.

Or:

your_input.split.map {|line| line.split('/')[1..-1] }

Or:

your_input.split.map {|line| line.split('/')[1..-1] }

Yeah, this is probably what you're looking for. A quick explanation of
whats going on is the input is being split by line, and then 'mapped'
so that each line becomes an array split by the /'s and the [1..-1]
gives you everything except for the first empty string on the left side
of your first /

so this should give you your two dimensional array.

You may want to add a .flatten on the end of that, otherwise if you have
multiple lines of input, you will get an array containing an array for each
line.

In the original post, it looks like he wanted an array for each line...

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks, you all.

And it's so simple, too.
