EDIT:  What's the error you get, and what's the exact code you're using?

The reason is that in strings, the backslash \ is used as an "escape character", meaning it's used to show that the next character signifies something other than it's literal character.  For example:

\n  =  new line
\"   =   inside a string this is used to show a quote, rather than actually showing the ending of the string

So to get an actual \ into a string, you double it up to \\ and it gets changed into a \ when the string is passed / used etc.
