hello,
how could I chunk_split string

mylongstring = "some long long long string"

into smaller strings of length 3.

In PHP it is

chunk_split(mylongstring,3);

What is it in ruby?

Thank you in advance!

long_string = "some long long long string"
p long_string.scan(/.{3}/)

=> ["som", "e l", "ong", " lo", "ng ", "lon", "g s", "tri", "ng"]

Like that? If not, you'll need to give an example of the output you're
trying to achieve (which is generally a good idea anyway...).
