Here's a good regex tutorial: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
But to answer your question, \n#[^\n]*\n means the match must:
start with a newline(\n) followed by a pound sign (#) followed by 0 or
more characters (*) that are not a newline(^\n) all the way up to
another newline (\n).
To translate to preg I think all you need to do is give it delimiters,
but that may not be necessary, not sure. "|\n#[^\n]*\n|"
