RCR 136: String#chomp(/regexp/)
Submitted by anonymous (Sat May 03 11:05:17 UTC 2003)
Abstract
This is a legacy RCR from Ruby Garden, submitted by anonymous. Matz has declared these RCRs obsolete, and asked that their authors resubmit them in the new format.
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to do something like str.chomp(/r?n/) to cut off both dos and unix style newlines. (This can already be done like str.subs(/r?n$/), but str.chomp(/re/) would look more like a chomp and be slightly simpler.)

Implementation

You can already use chomp to strip DOS or Unix line endings (that is, it'll remove CR/LF or just LF). It doesn't take regexps though.
