Maybe this is a little clearer:

aStrings = [["0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "3", "3"],
["0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "3", "3"],
["0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "3", "3"],
["0", "3", "0", "0", "0", "0", "3"],
["0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "3"]]

aFixnums = aStrings.map{|i| i.map{|s| s.to_i}}
puts aStrings[0][0].class.to_s # => String
puts aFixnums[0][0].class.to_s # => Fixnum
puts aFixnums[0][0].integer? # => true (So a Fixnum is_a Integer)

Note that the last line asserts that a Fixnum object is indeed an
Integer

HTH,

Here's a weird one for your enjoyment (arr is your array)...

require 'matrix'; p Matrix[*arr].map {|i| i.to_i}.to_a

...of course, just like Stefano's solution, the object must respond to
the #to_i method.

You can #join it and split it up (#each_slice) again (my first cool
solution, but looks _really_ ugly). Mapping twice is the easiest and
is the way you probably should go.
