Subject: String delete method help

Hi,

I have a string which hold a URL. I'm trying to use the string .delete
method to remove the domain from the url but it isn't working as I
thought it should from the docs.

For example:

string = "http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/"

I want to remove the "http://groups.google.com" part of the string, so
I tried:

string.delete('http', 'com')

thinking this would delete everything between 'http' and 'com' but all
I get is the entire string without any changes and with no errors.

I'm probably misunderstanding how the delete function works - can
someone explain?

Thanks,
