Since you ve got an array  what you really want is Array slice  not split   rest   ex slice 1    -1    or rest   ex 1    -1

Try split      i  where i is the index in result array  split gives array below    test1     test2     test3     test4     test5      whose element can be accessed by index

Try this   first   rest   ex split         Now first will be the first value  rest will be the rest of the array

ex split      2  last   The 2 at the end says  split into 2 pieces  not more   normally split will cut the value into as many pieces as it can  using a second value you can limit how many pieces you will get  Using ex split      2  will give you     test1    test2  test3  test4  test5     as an array  instead of     test1    test2    test3    test4    test5

You probably mistyped a few things  From what I gather  you start with a string such as   string    test1  test2  test3  test4  test5    Then you want to split it to keep only the significant substrings   array   string split         And in the end you only need all the elements excluding the first one     We extract and remove the first element from array first element   array shift    Now array contains the expected result  you can check it with puts array inspect   Did that answer your question
