Add String#lchomp and String.lchomp!

Added by javawizard (Alex Boyd) over 9 years ago. Updated over 9 years ago.

Status:
Open
Target version:
-
[ruby-core:66727]

Description

With the expected behavior, i.e.

irb(main):013:0> 'foobar'.lchomp('foo')
=> "bar"
irb(main):014:0> 'foobar'.lchomp('baz')
=> "foobar"

A quick google search will turn up plenty of practical uses for this, as well as lots of libraries that patch String themselves to add this.

Possibly also add the default without arguments in order to compare to .chomp:

"\nacbdef\n".chomp  # => "\nacbdef"
"\nacbdef\n".lchomp # => "acbdef\n"

Agreed. I was slightly lazy writing up my example... :-)
