Body
Two alternatives: <pre><code>s = "[test| blah] \n [foo |bar bar bar]\n[test| abc |123 | 456 789]" s.split(/\s*\n\s*/).map{ |p| p.scan(/[^|\[\]]+/).map(&:strip) } #=> [["test", "blah"], ["foo", "bar bar bar"], ["test", "abc", "123", "456 789"]] irb> s.split(/\s*\n\s*/).map do |line| line.sub(/^\s*\[\s*/,'').sub(/\s*\]\s*$/,'').split(/\s*\|\s*/) end #=> [["test", "blah"], ["foo", "bar bar bar"], ["test", "abc", "123", "456 789"]] </code></pre> Both of them start by splitting on newlines (throwing away surrounding whitespace). The first one then splits each chunk by looking for anything that is not a <code>[</code>, <code>|</code>, or <code>]</code> and then throws away extra whitespace (calling <code>strip</code> on each). The second one then throws away leading <code>[</code> and trailing <code>]</code> (with whitespace) and then splits on <code>|</code> (with whitespace). <hr> You cannot get the final result you want with a single <code>scan</code>. About the closest you can get is this: <pre><code>s.scan /\[(?:([^|\]]+)\|)*([^|\]]+)\]/ #=> [["test", " blah"], ["foo ", "bar bar bar"], ["123 ", " 456 789"]] </code></pre> …which drops information, or this: <pre><code>s.scan /\[((?:[^|\]]+\|)*[^|\]]+)\]/ #=> [["test| blah"], ["foo |bar bar bar"], ["test| abc |123 | 456 789"]] </code></pre> …which captures the contents of each "array" as a single capture, or this: <pre><code>s.scan /\[(?:([^|\]]+)\|)?(?:([^|\]]+)\|)?(?:([^|\]]+)\|)?([^|\]]+)\]/ #=> [["test", nil, nil, " blah"], ["foo ", nil, nil, "bar bar bar"], ["test", " abc ", "123 ", " 456 789"]] </code></pre> …which is hardcoded to a maximum of four items, and inserts <code>nil</code> entries that you would need to <code>.compact</code> away. There is no way to use Ruby's <code>scan</code> to take a regex like <code>/(?:(aaa)b)+/</code> and get multiple captures for each time the repetition is matched.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
