Yep. Are you running a standalone program, or in irb? In the first case, 
paste the program you are running, and its output. In the second case, 
paste the irb transcript. e.g.

$ irb --simple-prompt
>> s = "1 334.64"
=> "1 334.64"
>> s.gsub!(/\s/, '')
=> "1334.64"
>> s
=> "1334.64"
>> 

Note that gsub! modifies the string in-place, and returns nil if no 
change was made.
