Subject: Substring like in PHP's substr()?

Hi all

I'm looking for the coolest way to get the substring

/Webwork/pgbookings

out of

/Users/Josh/Webwork/pgbookings

The part /Users/Josh is saved in the variable my_var.

In PHP I would do something like the following:

substr(/Users/Josh/Webwork/pgbookings, strlen(my_var)) # =>
/Webwork/pgbookings

What's the fastest way to do this in Ruby? :-)
Josh
