Subject: Re: YANQ: Nesting in YAML

Yes, I screwed up the description of the problem big time. Here's a
better description:

Given the YAML statements:

x:
  bb:
    - boo
  aa:
    - 2
    - 3
y:
  cc:
    - see
    - sea
  aa:
    - 5

YAML produces:

{"x"=>{"aa"=>[2, 3], "bb"=>["boo"]}, "y"=>{"aa"=>[5], "cc"=>["see",
"sea"]}}

I think I can handle picking up keys and values here, so I'm happy with
the nesting. But now my problem is how to add extra levels of nesting
to the YAML statements, where "see" has its own substructure, something
like:

x:
  bb:
    - boo
  aa:
    - 2
    - 3
y:
  cc:
    - see
      sea:
        - weed
        - sick
  aa:
    - 5

The above doesn't parse. Gives the message:

ArgumentError: parse error on line 9, col 7: `    sea:
'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/YAML.rb:119:in `load'
	from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/YAML.rb:119:in `load'
	from (irb):52
	from :0


My apologies for the incorrect OP. And thanks.
