Is there a way to fold text where begin and end lines contain the same text?

Is there a way to fold text where begin and end lines contain the same text?
e.g. for a plaintext file

line 1
Test Case
multiple lines
multiple lines
Test Case
multiple lines
multiple lines
Test Case

folded to:

line 1
Test Case ...
Test Case ...

If you don't know the separator, you can try:

{
    "beginRegex": "^([\\w\\s]+)$",
    "endRegex": "\\1",
    "consumeEnd": false,
}

But it can be resource heavy.

If you know it, try:

{
    "separatorRegex": "^Test Case$"
}

Thanks much. Looking back at the docs, it should have been obvious. Maybe a couple more examples in the docs would have helped. Richard
