Re: how to design an testing example

Hi,

While passing the file name use "\\" insted of "\".

No. File names might not even /have/ a \ character as part of their name. At
least as far as I'm aware, none of the files on my filesystem does, and
even if the OP's system does, the advice doesn't apply to the OP anyway.
The reason for using \\ instead of \ when you want a \ in astring literal
is nothing to do with files and everything to do with string literals.
