that looks like what peter was looking for with 'BormParticipant' copyFrom: 5
'BormParticipant' allButFirst: 4
something like 'BormParticipant' removePrefix: 'Borm' should really fail if the
prefix does not match, thus i would use:
| aString prefix bString |
aString := 'BormParticipant'.
prefix := 'Borm'.
(aString beginsWith: prefix) ifTrue: [ aString allButFirst: prefix size ].
"or to remove a common prefix:"
bString := 'BormMember'.
aString allButFirst: (aString charactersExactlyMatching: bString).
"and related, to find a common prefix:"
aString first: (aString charactersExactlyMatching: bString).
greetings, martin.
