Subject: passing single backslash character as commang line argument

Hi,

I am trying to pass a string as a command line argument to another ruby
program and I am not able to send a single backslash character as part
of that string.

Example:
test1.rb:
test2AbsolutePath = "C:\\test2.rb"
text = "Sample Ruby '\\' String"
system("ruby #{test2AbsolutePath} \"#{text}\"")

test2.rb:
text  = ARGV[0]
puts "text: #{text}"

Output :
C:\>ruby test1.rb
text: Sample Ruby '' String


Please let me know how to get the backslash character in the string in
the test2.rb program.

Thanks,
Kashyap
