This is a part of a groovy code that I wrote to get term positions:

for (pair in pairs) { // pairs is an array of pairs of terms  
def (value1, value2) = pair.tokenize(' ');  
def pos\_w1;  
def pos\_w2;  
for (pos in \_index["data"].get(value1, \_POSITIONS)) {  
pos\_w1 = pos.position;  
}  
for (pos in \_index["data"].get(value2, \_POSITIONS)) {  
pos\_w2 = pos.position;  
}}

I want it to work this way:

pairs = ['word1 word2', 'word3 word4']  
iteration 1:  
word1 : [2, 3]  
word2 : [6, 7, 8, 13]  
word1 : [45, 64]  
word2 : [46, 67, 87, 90]

I want to create an array of positions of value1 and one array of positions  
of value1. How can I do that?
