Subject: Ruby functions to split numbers

HI All,
       I have couple of requirements to be handled in ruby, it will be
great if anyone can shed some light on this.

1) i have a 8 digit number, to be used in my code as 2 parts(split),
like shown below.

Number = "34502305"   # I put them in double quotes, so that leading
zeros are preserved.
Var1 = 345      # split firs 3 digits always
Var2 = 02305    # split remaining digits with preserving leading Zero if
it exists

i tried doing something like this, not sure if its correct

 sprintf("%2d", number)

I am not able to preserve leading zero or i get fixnum to string error

Cheers
