Subject: String.scan (Regexp again...)

Hi gurus,

I used the following regexp to parse a text file:

p=/.{4}((.{3})(.{6})(.{3})).{17}(.{16}).{13}(.).{33}(.{7}).{17}((.{3})(.{6})(.{3}))/

line="PFPT0YH100010                    NUT-SPRG-EXPN          980101G     A
00001000010001WA100001050000000                            OYH100010
     "
result=line.match(p)
p result >>

[["0YH100010   ", "0YH", "100010", "   ", "NUT-SPRG-EXPN   ", "G", 
"0000105", "
           ", "   ", "      ", "   "]]

It seems that result is flattened. I expect result like this:
[[a,b,c], d,e,f,[g,h,i]]

Could anyone tell me how can I achieve that? Thanks a lot!

Shannon
