If you want to do something like

Then the output should contain "\"bob saget\",1234123412"

This is the step definition you would probably write

Then /^the output should contain "(.*)$" do |text|
  Output.string.should be_include(text)
end

Which would mess up cucumber’s step definition regexp. Another way to do it is using slashes

Then /^the output should contain \/(.*)\/$/ do |text|
  Output.string.should be_include(text)
end

And this will work

Then the output should contain /"bob saget",1234123412/
