    file.splitEachLine(/\s:\s/) { items ->
        // Lines that did not have the delimeter will have 1 item.
        // Add a new map to the end of the drives list.
        if(items.size() == 1 && drives[-1] != [:]) drives << [:]
        else {
            // Multiple assignment, items[0] => key and items[1] => value
            def (key, value) = items
            drives[-1][key] = value
        }
    }

    drives.eachWithIndex { drive, index ->
        println "Drive $index"
        drive.each {key, value ->
            println "\t$key: $value"
        }
    }
}
