Removing ' \ ' from a string

Question

I need to remove '\\' from a string wherever it appears on it in ruby on rails. Is it possible using gsub or anything similar to it ?

For example consider a string, string = "hey boss\\ how are you". I need to make it to print as "hey boss how are you".

Answer 1

How about using:

'hey boss\ how are you'.gsub('\\',' ')     

=> "hey boss how are you" 

Answer 2

'hey boss\ how are you'.tr('\\','')

Answer 3

'hey boss\ how are you'.delete!('\\')
   => "hey boss how are you"
