That doesn't work. Many of the text descriptions have spaces in them, plus there's spaces at the beginning of most of the lines.
As this is fixed length, use unpack. Now, you're going to have to also use some logic if you care about the indenting stuff to make sure that you don't keep that whitespace at the beginning of your description. If you don't, it's easy enough to strip off the indenting whitespace. To get what you exactly wanted, do something like:
