Hello, how to better write that : self.ident = self.ident[/0-9*/]

I'm pretty sure there is a String method that would keep only the first
match of the regex but I didn't found it in the String doc reference

ri String#slice, ri String#slice!

Thanks



Fine ! Thanks... About the same topic (Strings) I wonder how to replace
"REF:90 REFERAL".gsub!('REF:','')
by something else

I tried with .delete but

"REF:90 REFERAL".delete!("REF:") delete every R, E or F char in the string


How to use delete ?

Thanks in advance
