Subject: Re: Is there a more efficient way to remove data from a string?

Another possible option is to use String#[]=

irb(main):001:0> s="foobarbaz"
=> "foobarbaz"
irb(main):002:0> line = "foobarbaz\n"
=> "foobarbaz\n"
irb(main):003:0> line[/bar.*$/] = ''
=> ""
irb(main):004:0> line
=> "foo\n"

Kind regards

robert
