This looks like you are just splitting it into lines.  If so then if
it's in a file
filename = 'myprog.rb'
line_array = File.readlines(filename)

Or if it's a string
source = <<END
class Foo
 def initialize
   @x = "y"
 end

 def Bar(*args)
   if args[0]
     puts "Bar" + args[0]
   else
     puts @x
   end
 end
end
END
line_array = source.to_a
