I have a collection of ints that repeat themselves in a pattern:

val repeatingSequence = List(1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2,3,4,5)

I\'d like to sec

As well all know, fold can do everything... ;)

  val rs = List(1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2,3,4,5)
  val res = (rs++List(1)).foldLeft((List[List[Int]](),List[Int]()))((acc,e) => acc match {
    case (res,subl) => {
      if (e == 1) ((subl.reverse)::res,1::Nil) else (res, e::subl)
    }
  })
  println(res._1.reverse.tail)
