Your example string does not contain any backslashes!

Instead it contains for example a tab:

[1] pry(main)> puts "a\tb"
a	b

You need to define the string using single quotes:

[2] pry(main)> puts 'a\tb'
a\tb


Backslashes are interpreted differently in String literals
with single and double quotes.
