    Single quoted strings in Ruby are more ‘literal’ than double quoted strings; variables are not evaluated, and most escape characters don’t work, with the exception of \\ and \' to include literal backslashes and single quotes respectively.

    Double quotes are what you want:

    file.write "objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames\n"
