[ale] some other regexp

[Russell Enderby]

The character you are probably look for is '\r' which is the linefeed.  The
'\n' physically moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line (carriage
return).  Usually when dealing with serial communications you must send both
for a terminal program to successfully get a 'RETURN' to work properly.  In
C/C++ the \n automatically does a \r.

If that does not help, just strip the line for how many characters you dont
want at the end with chop() or a simple strip function.
