I'm thinking you want scan.

string.scan(/.{8}/)


You may need to adjust the regex a little, but that should match 8
charicters at a time...
I think if the length isn't a multiple of 8 it may just ignore the
last bunch of chars... but you get the idea

edit the regex as needed.

PS: Scan is _awesome_ when you need to do some quick an dirty log analysis
data=File.read(foo).scan(regex)
