'vowels' copyWithoutAll: 'aeiou' copy.

'vowels' select: [:aCharacter | aCharacter isVowel not].

aStream := 'vowels' copy readStream.
result := WriteStream on: String new.
[aStream atEnd] whileFalse: [
nextCharacter := aStream next.
nextCharacter isVowel
ifFalse: [
result nextPut: nextCharacter.
]
].
aStream
^result contents
