Hi,  
I'm in need to split a string in to multiple sub-string of same size.  
Is it possible to split by same or min length using ruby code?

Pasted my message below,

{"Name1 True  
Name2 True  
Name3 True  
Name4 True" }

Expected result on split,

[0]. Name1 True  
[1], Name2 True  
[2], Name3 False  
[3], Name4 True
