NOTE. Using back slash as a path separator may produce some unexpected
results, depending on how your application treatsescaped characters. Many
applications recognize the sequence of back slash followed by an alphabetic
character as an escaped character, and, as such, interpretthat alphabetic
character as a control character. For example, the sequence "\n" may be
interpreted as a newline character; "\t" may be interpretedas a tab character. To
ensure that this interpretationdoes not occur, you can use double back slashes.
For example, "D:\\testfile.txt".
