Subject: strange result from to_a

I had unexpected results and could not figure out why

puts (" ".."~").to_a.inspect
returns results of " " thru "9"

m = []
(" "[0].."~"[0]).to_a.each{|c| m << c.chr}
puts m.inspect

Is a longwinded way of getting the samne but it gives all the results

" " thru "~"

Can anyone tell me why this is so?

I also hear that to_a is to be depricated - but it is hard to figure out
what the alternatives are.  Everything I found gave the same unexpeted
results.
