yes you can use regexp. But your requirement is simple. So simple string 
indexing does the job. by the way, the reason why it did not work for 
you is that you have a newline character when a line is read. So just 
chomp it off

f = File.open(filename)
f.each do|line|
    line.chomp!
    puts "found ;" if line[-1]==";"
end

same to your regexp method

f = File.open(filename)
f.each do|line|
  puts line
  line.chomp!
  puts line.match( %r{;$})
  puts line.match( %r{;\z})
  puts line.match( %r{(.*);$})
  puts line.match( %r{(.*);\Z})
end
