ruby regular expression (Removing characters)

Question

I am fetching some results from the database :

@log_detail = connection.execute("SELECT logs,setup FROM mastertest WHERE test_ins_id LIKE blah blah blah");

Results

 logs = a/atf/something
 setup = tb-1-atf with ac-2115

I want

logs = atf/something
setup = 2115

I tried the following for the logs, but it doesn't seem to work

@log_detail.each do |row|
    row[0] = row[0].drop(2) 
end

Try:

row[0] = row[0][2..-1]

And have a look at the [] method on String.
