Putting string values into array

ruby-talk
1

I have a string that contians about 20 names that are all seperated by a
single white space. What is the easiest way to get those 20 names into
an array of 20 elements?

a = "first_name second_name third_name etc"

thanks

actually just

  a.split

is all you need.
