See the EXAMPLE_USAGE.

I will be adding this to a repo with its tests a bit later and then perhaps forking Cucumber and adding it in and sending a pull request. Might rename the method to RunSteps() though...

cucumber_helper.rb

module CucumberHelper
  def Cucumber(steps)
    steps.strip.split(/(?=^\s*(?:When|Then|Given|And|But))/).map { |step| step.strip }.each do |step|
      output = step.match(/^\s*(When|Then|Given|And|But) ([^\n]+)(\n.*)?$/m)
      
      action, step, table_or_string = output[1], output[2], output[3]
      table_or_string = table(table_or_string) if table_or_string.to_s.strip[0..1] == "|"
      args = [step, table_or_string].compact
      
      send(action, *args)
    end
  end
end

EXAMPLE USAGE.rb

# Allows you to do (1) instead of (2)

# 1
Given /^I sign up as a staff member with login "([^\"]*)"$/ do |login|
  Cucumber(%Q{

    And I fill in "Username" with "#{login}"
    And I fill in "Password" with "password"
    And I fill in "Password again" with "password"
    And I fill in "Email" with "#{login}@domain.com"
    And I check "I am a staff member"
    And I press "Sign Up"
  }
end

# 2
Given /^I sign up as a staff member with login "([^\"]*)"$/ do |login|
  When %Q{I go to the sign up page}
