Subject: Problem with block

Why does the following method return nil?

def foo
  info = "           What    |Removed                     |Added
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Status|RESOLVED                    |CLOSED
         "
   result = Hash.new
   info.each do |line|
     if line.scan(/\|/)
       field, oldVal, newVal = line.chomp.split(/\s*\|\s*/)
       if (field == 'Status')
         result['status'] = newVal
       end
     end
   end
   result
end

Also, for some reason the statement "if (field == 'Status')" doesn't 
return true.

Thanks,

Andy.
