Well, ya... I have a bunch of text, in (in pascal terms) an array of string.

I want to be able to insert somewhere so...

array[1] = "line1"
array[2] = "line2"
array[3] = "line3"

insert "new line2" at 2

array[1] = "line1"
array[2] = "new line2"
array[3] = "line2"
array[4] = "line3"

etc...

thanks,

Mark

 Well, I've not understood you don't want a String method but an Array
 method no ?

pigeon% ruby -e 'a = ["a", "c"]; a[1,0] = "b"; p a; a[1][0,0] = "123"; p a'
["a", "b", "c"]
["a", "123b", "c"]
pigeon%
