notepad++ user defined regions with folding

Question

I can\'t figure out how to configure notepad++ to display regions for user defined keywords.

I have a big trace file which shows the start and the end of a procedure

Answer 1

I used Marcelo's answer to solve this for myself (in Perl), with one change...
If I included a space between the comment symbol and the bracket then it wouldn't work. It had to be placed immediately after:

#START example
################{

print "Hi there! ";
print "How are you?\n";

#}END example

Note that if I do:

#END example }

with the bracket after the text it won't work either
