Hi,
maybe you should to try this: words = str.split(/\.\s*/)

it works for me:

irb(main):008:0> str = "Ruby is great. We all know that."
=> "Ruby is great. We all know that."
irb(main):009:0> words = str.split(/\.\s*/)
=> ["Ruby is great", "We all know that"]
irb(main):010:0> words[0]
=> "Ruby is great"
irb(main):011:0> words[1]
=> "We all know that"

greetings
