Subject: Beginner's question: assigning same value to many variables

I'm just starting out in programming, using Ruby to learn.

I'm trying to write a short program that will use a handful of 
variables, and I want to be sure that all of the variables start with 
the value '' (strings of zero length).

Is there a way to list all of the variables on a single line and set 
them to the same value? I tried using commas to seperate, but that 
didn't work.

I also tried creating an array with all of the variable names and then 
using "arrayname.each do |name|" to cycle through the assignment, but 
since the varibles hadn't been defined, I got an "undefined local 
variable or method" error (at least, I think that's why I got an error).
