I did not understand if you want to split the string on the full stop
str.split(".")
or divide the string in words and split them in two groups:


str = "Ruby is great. We all know that."
([(v=str.split(" "))[0...k=((l=(v.size))/2)]]+[v[k..l]]).map{|e|e.join(" ")}
=> ["Ruby is great.", "We all know that."]
