Setting variable to array of arrays

i’ve had to chop up results of various things lately and require output
as an array of arrays for later manipulation.

one of the things i’m wrestling with is setting a variable to retain the
output of a block, like in this example:

so the actual variable value is an array but unformatted as an array of
arrays.

what’s the best way to accomplish this?

thanks for any help.
