Subject: Splitting a sentence with delimiter preserved

Hi,

I am a newbie and the answer to this might be too simple.
How do I improve the example below and reduce the number of passes
over the string?

 string =  "This is an example string.  The purpose is to save the
delimiter during split. Does this work.  Great!!!."

re = /(\.\s+)(\D)/
string.gsub!(re,'\1'+'#'+'\2')
b = string.split('#')
puts b

Thanks
Ajith
