title: escaping a string in Ruby
body: <p>I want to insert the following as the value for a variable in some Ruby:</p>
  
  <pre><code>`~!@#$%^&amp;*()_-+={}|[]\:";'&lt;&gt;?,./
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Surrounding this in double quotes doesn't work, so is there a nice escape_until_the_end sort of thing available?</p>
