Subject: keep getting an error saying that this array value is nil, however it is not nil

elemkeysraw = str.split(/=(?!>)/)
i = elemkeysraw.length
scr.printw("This is the value of hashargs is #{hashargs} and it's class is
#{hashargs.class} and elemkeysraw[i] is #{elemkeysraw[i]}
elemkeysraw[i].split(/=>/)[0] is #{elemkeysraw[i].split(/=>/)[0]}")

This is the chunk of code,, and the elemkeysraw[i].split(/=>/)[0] causes an
error;

private method `split' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

However elemkeysraw[i] provides a value.  What's the deal with this?  I'm
guessing it is because the fact that "i" is not evaluated until runtime, but
why does the element reference work, but not when attempting to use a string
method on the value that is contained there?
