Subject: RegExp problem

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?
