Subject: regex and gsub quest

Hi

Another quick question (at the risk of being the person who asks for help on 
adding 2+2 at the alt.math.relatavistic.astrophysics group):

I am trying to search thru a file (arrays of words and sentence fragments), 
and replace the commas with a space.
Why doesn't the code below work : (other than an incorrect regex for comma)

a = ["hi,there", "jot this note down", "may i,use the, car"]
a.each do |x| x.gsub(/\,/  , "   ") end

- the general method of
array.each do {|e| e.gsub(pattern, replacement)} doesn't work?

Thanks again
