The first one is the one I'm going for, although the way I'm using it,
either implementation would do the job. Let's say I want to stick with the
first way ... any suggestions there?

Oh, wait ... Guy's:

  s[/^#{substr}/] = "" 

... looks like it would work. (Although reg expressions read like German to
me <g>). The way I use it, I always have the substr at the front of the str.

Thanks to all.
