I'm not positive what you are trying to do here. However from the code you
have posted i never changes so you will continuously overwrite
faulty_line[i] and correct_line[i].

If you are trying to correlate line numbers with line data maybe a hash
would be better? For example:

array_of_errors # this would be an array
error_line_numbers # this would be an array

errors = {}

error_line_numbers.each do |line_number|
errors[line_number.to_sym] = array_of_errors[line_number]
end

of course this also assumes a one to one mapping of the line_number and
line_data arrays.
