How to gsub a sub-string that starts with a particular character or enclosed by particular characters in ruby?

As for example :input is : Prime rates[ U.S. Effective Date: 12/16/2008 ]
I want to gsub the sub-string that is enclosed by two square braces [ and ] and want output like : Prime Rates

How can I do that using ruby regular expression?

    Maybe something like:

    s.gsub(/\[.*\]/, "")
    

    This will remove anything enclosed in [] assuming there is no more than one occurrence of such substring.
