regex group match

[Thufir]

At www.rubular.com/ the regular expression:

SID=([\s\S]*?)LSID=([\s\S]*?)Auth=([\s\S]*)

run against the string below results in three captures. How do I
replicate these results from Ruby? Part of the trick being that SID and
LSID are similar, and presumably, may be returned in any order.

This comes from:
