I'm thinking to translate string to an array like this:
"aaabbccccdadd" => [ [a, 3], [b, 2], [c, 4], [d, 1], [a, 1], [d, 2] ]
this is my code:
ary = []
"aaabbccccdadd".scan(/((.)\2*)/){ |a,b| ary << [b, a.size] }
ary #=> [["a", 3], ["b", 2], ["c", 4], ["d", 1], ["a", 1], ["d", 2]]
But, I wonder if there are more effective or beautiful solution than
this.
How do you think?

you can use the enumerator form of scan (ruby1.9):
"aaabbccccdadd".scan(/((.)\2*)/).map { |a,b| [b, a.size] }

Anyone else look at String#squeeze and get sad that it didn't take a block?
One day... one day I will use you, String#squeeze -.^

Hm....
irb(main):008:0> ary = "aaabbccccdadd".to_enum(:scan,
/(.)\1*/).map{|a,| [a, $&.length]}
=> [["a", 3], ["b", 2], ["c", 4], ["d", 1], ["a", 1], ["d", 2]]
irb(main):013:0> ary = "aaabbccccdadd".scan(/((.)\2*)/).map {|a,b| [b,
a.length]}
=> [["a", 3], ["b", 2], ["c", 4], ["d", 1], ["a", 1], ["d", 2]]
Only marginally nicer.
Btw.
irb(main):018:0> "aaabbccccdadd".gsub(/(.)\1+/){|m| m[0]+m.length.to_s}
=> "a3b2c4dad2"
RLE for Characters.
