I am trying to help a friend at a University create some plots of his 
data. I have a trial version of Mathematica and it looks like it will 
do the job, but I need help with a simple problem.

I have written some code to massage the data and put it in forms for 
reading into Mathematica.

I will be doing a surface plot and want to provide can provide my own 
triangulation data.

I will have data of the form
	n n n n 
	n n n n n n
	n n n n n
	n n
I can read this into lists and end up with
	{n,n,n,n},{n,n,n,n,n,n},{n,n,n,n,n},{n,n}
I need to turn this into
	{n,{n,n,n}},{n,{n,n,n,n,n}},{n,{n,n,n,n}},{n,{n}}
to use as the triangulation data.

Can some kind soul provide me with some Mathematica code to transfrom my 
data into the proper format. There are so many features, there must be 
some simple transformation code.

Thank you in advance.
