Dear David,

well, not  really - maybe I should have added that I work under Cygwin  and 
Ruby1.8.2.
There, 
>  b.gsub!(/[006-010]/,"")
 
returns an error ( not a valid regular expression) (because of the 006-010  
bit), and
"\006" is just one character, not the same as a four-letter string.
But I have now found that I can do 
 
b.gsub!(/\006[0-9]*/,"").gsub(/\010[0-9]*/,'')
 
to solve my problem.
 
Thanks for responding
 
Axel
