title: How to make Ruby ignore backslash in strings?
body: <p>Is there some way in Ruby that I can avoid having to put double-backslash in Ruby strings (like what can be done in C#):</p>
  
  <p>For example, in C# was can prefix a string with <code>@</code> and then the backslash in the string does not need to be escaped:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@"C:\Windows, C:\ABC"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Without <code>@</code> we would need to escape the backslash:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"C:\\Windows, C:\\ABC"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something similar in Ruby?</p>
