try_dir = "program files/tbla/bla1"

=> "program files/tbla/bla1"

string1, string2, string3 = try_dir.split('/')

=> ["program files", "tbla", "bla1"]

string1

=> "program files"

string2

=> "tbla"

string3

=> "bla1"

String#split

ar = Array.new
ar = "program files/tbla/bla1".split("/")
p ar

=> ["program files", "tbla", "bla1"]

The array created by Array.new will be replaced by the array created by split
in the very next line and thus never be used. In other words: you can leave
the first line out.
