or:

array =
data.scan(/#{Regexp::quote(open)}(.*?)#{Regexp::quote(close)}/m).map{|x|x[
0]}

Directly reading from a file:

IO.read("file.txt").scan(/#{Regexp::quote(open)}(.*?)#{Regexp::quote(close
)}/m).map{|x|x[0]}

Unfortunaltely these solutions require to read in the whole file at once.
If it is guaranteed that TEXT1 and TEXT2 are always on a line by themself
you can apply more efficient but a bit more comples solutions.
