I'm not sure I understand the full question, but since you are looping, one way to do this: 

new_variable = old_string.split(/(your value here)/)

new_variable is an array so then you can do this: 

new_variable.each_with_index do | value, index |

         # Your code here to make the change
        # then just substitute the new change like this: 

        new_variable(index) = (your new code/variable) 

end

# Then just put your array back into a string using .join.
