Sort sequencial data from an array into separate arrays

Lets say I have an array
A = {3 4 5 6 8 9 12 15 16 17}
I want to get sequences such as
A1 = {3 4 5 6}
A2 = {8 9}
A3 = {12}
A4 = {15 16 17}
How would I approach such a problem. This issue is part of a larger problem I am solving in selecting data ranges from excel sheets. Any help would be nice. Thanks

You can proceed as follows to create blocks of consecutive numbers:
A_num = [A{:}] ;
bStart = [0, find(diff(A_num)>1), numel(A)] + 1 ;
bSize = diff( bStart ) ;
A_block = mat2cell( A_num, 1, bSize ) ;
With that, you get
>> bStart
bStart =
1 5 7 8 11
>> bSize
bSize =
4 2 1 3
>> A_block
A_block =
[1x4 double] [1x2 double] [12] [1x3 double]
>> A_block{1}
ans =
3 4 5 6

I edited the answer after you accepted it, please see the update.
Would not have thought of this solution for line 2. The logic is great for the rest of the program. Thanks.
