The backslash '\' is an escape character, and would cause the next character to have a special meaning if it belongs to a specific set of characters. Since many years you can safely use forward slashes '/' as a path separator in MS Windows command lines, except in legacy utilities that expect the forward slash as an option character (copy /b ..., dir /s ... etc.). "C:/a/valid/path/file.txt" will do fine. -- Kind Regards, Kees Nuyt
