If you only have one occurrence of the target string you can use   str target         or  str sub target        If you have multiple occurrences of target use   str gsub target        For instance   asdf    foo bar  asdf  bar        asdf    gt   foo    asdf    foo bar  asdf sub  bar          gt   foo   asdf   asdf   asdf    gt   foo barfoo bar  asdf gsub  bar          gt   foo foo     If you need to do in-place substitutions use the     versions of gsub  and sub

If I m interpreting right  this question seems to ask for something like a minus  -  operation between strings  i e  the opposite of the built-in plus     operation  concatenation    Unlike the previous answers  I m trying to define such an operation that must obey the property   IF c   a   b THEN c - a   b AND c - b   a  We need only three built-in Ruby methods to achieve this    abracadabra  partition  abra   values at 0 2  join     cadabra    I won t explain how it works because it can be easily understood running one method at a time   Here is a proof of concept code     minus string rb class String   def - str      partition str  values at 0 2  join   end end    Add the following code and issue  ruby minus string rb  in the console to test require  minitest autorun   class MinusString Test  lt  MiniTest  Test    A B C  abra   cadabra   abracadabra     def test C eq A plus B     assert C    A   B   end    def test C minus A eq B     assert C - A    B   end    def test C minus B eq A     assert C - B    A   end  end   One last word of advice if you re using a recent Ruby version     2 0   use Refinements instead of monkey-patching String like in the previous example   It is as easy as   module MinusString   refine String do     def - str        partition str  values at 0 2  join     end   end end   and add using MinusString before the blocks where you need it
