Subject: [ruby-talk:14214] Escaping single qoutes

Hello again,

I have a string containing some single qoutes which I would like to prefix
with a backslash:

    s = "yadda'yadda'yadda"

    s.gsub(/'/, "\\'")        >>     yaddayadda'yaddayaddayaddayadda
    s.gsub(/'/, "\\\'")       >>     yaddayadda'yaddayaddayaddayadda
    s.gsub(/'/, "\\\\'")      >>     yadda\\'yadda\\'yadda

What am I missing?

/Christian
