Subject: Re: How to replace "\" from string.

ya
what work is
path.gsub("\\","\\\\")
but this also not work BECAUSE your main string path has no "\\" inside 
so gsub does not replace something and you can not replace the \ inside
path =  "C:\Gaurang\ruby\demo.xls"

because its interpreted as \G \r and \d

if you does not want to write
path =  "C:\\Gaurang\\ruby\\demo.xls"

you chould write inside ' '   (the char above #)
path =  'C:\Gaurang\ruby\demo.xls'

you can do nothing with "C:\Gaurang\ruby\demo.xls"
