I have string like file name. I want to output like file\ name. I have tried following.

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :060 > s.gsub(/\s/,"\ ")  
 => "file name"   
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :074 > s.gsub(" ","\\")  
 => "file\\name" 

Any help would be great.

    You probably want

    s.gsub(" ","\\ ")
    => "file\\ name"
    

    This is a single backslash character, but its representation needs a double backslash to differentiate it from an actual escape sequence like \n.
