Answer 1

You could use a regex to parse the string:
rogid an soni on rubular

Im getting some odd ruby behavior here so i cannot confirm this answer right now, but im pretty sure you can handle it:

REGEX

my_pattern.match(my_string).to_a will return you desired array.
Also dont forget pull "[\"rogid\", \"soni\"]" from ["[\"rogid\", \"soni\"]"] before using the regex.
