If by "remove all" you mean "efefef" - "ef" == "", I think that's a footgun. Similarly for "efabcd" - "ef" == "abcdef" - "ef". Steve Maybe it should be "remove the first one" rather than a suffix. Then for removal of multiple substrings, you could allow the RHS to be a sequence of substrings: >>> "efaxefef" - "ef" "axefef" >>> "efaxefef" - ["ef", "ax"] "efef" >>> "efaxefef" - ["ef"]*3 "ax" BTW these are interesting ideas and I'm just exploring the possibilities. Not proposing or agreeing with anything.
