Ahhh ....no! Incorrect.

Think of a list of 's#' values:

s1
s2
s3
s4

They are just all run together. I need to remove ONE of the "s#"
values. In the above case it will be either s1, s2, s3 or s4. The 's'
is NEVER without a number, and vice versa. Let's say I want to remove
s3. 

So, the issue I want an regex for is to remove s3 from the string
"s1s2s3s4" to leave me "s1s2s4".

- SO - I just want a pattern that says:

"match 's' and then the supplied numerical value (a variable)"

I thought this would be it: /[s][3]/ where '3' is my variable number.
This obviously doesn't work...
