I think you can get with this:

def split_newlines(str, num_lines)
  result,prev,index = 0,0,0
  array = []

  until result.nil?
    result = str.index("\n", result)
    unless result.nil?
      index += 1
      array << str[prev..result] if index%num_lines==0
      result += 1    
    end    
    prev = result if index%num_lines==0 and result
  end
  array << str[prev..str.size]  unless prev == str.size
end

But it seems too complicated for me. 
I'm sure there is a very better approach but I'm not an experienced ruby
programmer. I like very much to see better responses for learn something.

Asunto: Splitting a string by x number of lines

I am trying to figure out how to split a string into chunks of 25
lines or less to pass to another function

Any ideas on how I could approach this?

thanks,

Luis
