Question

I want to split a string:

"00 85 00 04 79 E5 0B B5 82 AE C7 C9 96 37 93 AE"

into two small strings like:

string1 => "00 85 00 04"
string2 => "79 E5 0B B5 82 AE C7 C9 96 37 93 AE"

I tried using arrays but would like to try something new.

You don’t need split here.

sample_string = "00 85 00 04 79 E5 0B B5 82 AE C7 C9 96 37 93 AE"
string1, string2 = sample_string[0, 11], sample_string[12..-1]
string1
#=> "00 85 00 04"
string2
#=> "79 E5 0B B5 82 AE C7 C9 96 37 93 AE"

But it is not clear what “pattern” do you want to use to cut original string.
