Subject: 2dim array/matrix

hello,

I'm quite new to programming as well to ruby. I want to store data in a 
2 dimensional array. How can I do this?

A more detailed describtion of what I want to do:
I have data from a digital elevation model. This is stored in a log txt 
file. I want to read it in and store it in an array or matrix. Because 
there are some error/gaps in the data I want to check for these values 
and calculate an average from the surrounding values. At the end all 
values should get written to an other txt file as x, y, z triples. The 
main problem for me to start is the 2dimensional storage. I know the 
needed size of the 2dim array/matrix (x-dim,y-dim). For getting the data 
in I was thinking of something like: dem[xi][yi]=value .

Kind regards

Wolfgang
