It still needs to be better defined, his/her example delimiter is "class#{i}
 here will be any text    ", so it isn't correct to assume the delimiter
ends after the first digit. We really need more data, to understand what
he/she actually wants to have happen, if you throw a splat in there, it will
eat up the rest of the string.

Another issue that could arise is if input is a large file, it could be too
big to fit into memory, in this case, you might be able to use strscan from
the standard library, or maybe have to find a gem to handle it, not sure, OP
needs to give more information.
