1. "Froederick Frankenstien" 2. "Ludwig Van Beethoven" 3. "Anne Frank" I'd like to split the string into only two vars (first and last) based on the first " " (space) found.
Example First Name Last Name 1 Froederick Frankenstein 2 Ludwig Van Beethoven 3 Anne Frank I'm familiar with String#split but I'm not sure how to only split once. The most Ruby-Way™ (elegant) answer will be accepted.

Ruby – String split() Method with ExamplesIf pattern is a Regular Expression or a string, str is divided where the pattern matches. Parameters: arr is the list, str is the string, pattern is the either string or regExp, and limit is the maximum entries into the array. Returns: Array of strings based on the parameters.
To split a string with specific character as delimiter in Java, call split() method on the string object, and pass the specific character as argument to the split() method. The method returns a String Array with the splits as elements in the array.
The split() method splits a string into an array of substrings. The split() method returns the new array. The split() method does not change the original string. If (" ") is used as separator, the string is split between words.
String#split takes a second argument, the limit.
str.split(' ', 2) should do the trick.
