Subject: how to wrap a long string

Hi all,

I need  to wrap a long string into several small segments.
I search the forum and see a few solutions for that. I copy one script
and run it on my Vista(with very small change) and here are the output:


C:\Documents and Settings\chen73>irb
irb(main):001:0> text = 'aaaaa11111AAAAA22222BBBBB'
=> "aaaaa11111AAAAA22222BBBBB"
irb(main):002:0> 0.step(text.length, 5) {|x| puts text[x, x+5]}
aaaaa
11111AAAAA
AAAAA22222BBBBB
22222BBBBB
BBBBB

=> 0

It looks like the script really wraps the string. But it also repeats
printing out some stuff, such two times of 'AAAAA', '22222', 3 times of
'BBBBB'.
Is it possible to get the output as follows:

aaaaa
11111
AAAAA
22222
BBBBB

Thanks,

Li
