The problem is that what you wrote is not what you meant. In Ruby
code: "\b" is a single character:

1.9.2p290 :002 > "\b".length
 => 1

To have the same thing you will have when reading from a file, you
should escape the \ in string literals:

1.9.2p290 :003 > "\\b".length
 => 2

So,

1.9.2p290 :005 > "\\b1234\\c5678".gsub(/\\./, "")
 => "12345678"

Exactly, source code is different from a file that you read.

Jesus.
