To get a specific size of array, you specify the number of items. ar = Array.new(100) p ar.length => 100 Also, you can specify how to initialize the array. n = 5 ar = Array.new(n, "A") n.times {|i| p i, ar[i]} results in: 0 "A" 1 "A" 2 "A" 3 "A" 4 "A" I hope that helps. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
