ruby-1.9.2-p290 :010 > a = "01234567"
 => "01234567"
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :011 > var1,var2 = [a[0,3],a[3,5]]
 => ["012", "34567"]
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :012 > var1
 => "012"
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :013 > var2
 => "34567"

keep in mind that a number with a leading zero makes ruby think the base is
octal:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :019 > 012
 => 10

hope that helps.
