I need to match a block of text as follows
Discard all lines which begin with //
Capture all lines in between as single strings
So
// section 1
bit
bit more
// section 2
more stuff
// section 3
and yet more
Should yeild 3 strings:
[ bit\n\nbit more\n\n]
[\n\n\n more stuff\n\n]
[\n\n\nand yet more\n]
Can anyone help?
I’ve tried:
builds = s.scan(%r[\n//[^\n]\n([^\n]\n)+?]m)
but this yields
[ bit]
[\n]
[\n]
how can I make the group capture more than a line?

s.split(%r{//.*})
=> ["", “\n bit\n\nbit more\n\n”, “\n\n\n more stuff\n\n”, “\n\n\nand
yet more\n\n”]
Close enough?

Try something like this.
You can clean it up as necessary.
s = “// section 1\nbit\n\nbit more\n\n// section 2\n\nmore stuff\n\n//
section 3\n\nand yet more”
s.split(///\s+section\s+\d+/).each {|x| p x}
