take everything between /start/ and /end/ which is not inside other /start/ .. /end/ block

That would be 
start
b
    f
j
end

but I get 
start
b
    start
    c
    d
    e
    end
    start
    g
    h
    i
    end

    Sorry, my mistake. Original if(/start/ .. (/end/ && !(/start/../end/))) replaced with if(/start/ .. (!(/start/../end/) && /end/)) And description changed to: take everything between /start/ and (/end/ which is not inside other /start/ .. /end/ block)

        It seems its harder to explain as I thought...

        This is exactly the output I wished: to get everything between outer 'start' and 'end'
