Convert a string to regular expression ruby

Question

I need to convert string like \"/[\\w\\s]+/\" to regular expression.

\"/[\\w\\s]+/\" => /[\\w\\s]+/

I tried using different Regexp

Answer 1

Looks like here you need the initial string to be in single quotes (refer this page)

>> str = '[\w\s]+'
 => "[\\w\\s]+" 
>> Regexp.new str
 => /[\w\s]+/
