string patterns, split sets of strings into various tables?

ok this topic confuses me

how would i make a string pattern that gets every digit & uppercase or lowercase letter or whitespace and puts the string into a table. if it finds a specific character then it stops, then gets the position of the character that was found and continues off putting strings after that character into a different table

for example character to find is '|'

"1dsi,gok cnmx| do46,d"

table 1 = {"1dsi", "gok cnmx"}
table 2 = {" do46", "d"}

i did this at first

for Word in string.gmatch(Message, "(%w*%s*),*|?") do
	table.insert(SortedMessage, Word)
end

and for that, the output for

"1ad, fds h4 o |as56"

is

{"1ad", " fds h4 o ", "as56"}

i just have no idea how to split the rest of the groups into a different table after '|', and another one if it finds another after, etc

i tried to split it into groups but i failed miserably, heres my attempt on that

SortMessageToTable = function(Message)
		local SortedMessage = {
			
		}
		
		local CurrentTable = {}
		for w,i in string.gmatch(Message, "(%w*),*()") do
			table.insert(CurrentTable, w)
			print(w)
			if Message:sub(i, i) == "|" then
				table.insert(SortedMessage, CurrentTable)
				
				CurrentTable = {}
			end
		end
		table.insert(SortedMessage, CurrentTable)
		
		return SortedMessage
	end

and this is what i get for this mess: http://i.imgur.com/kazWUry.gifv

also, here's the code that reads the returned table

local SortedMessage = Commands.SortMessageToTable(Message)
		
		for i=1, #SortedMessage do
			for v=1, #SortedMessage[i] - 1 do
				print(i, SortedMessage[i][v])
			end
		end

help would be appreciated
