I noticed that this page comes up for generic google search of "string to char array ruby".

If you just want to convert string to char array in ruby,

"string".chars # ["s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g"]

i don't understand your question, but if you want to convert string to array

>> "a string".split("") => ["a", " ", "s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g"]
