[plt-scheme] Windows and file I/O
I hope really newby questions are tolerated here.
I'm trying to learn Scheme from the "Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum
Days" and I'm at the part about file I/O. I mostly use the Mac and
everything seems to work there because Scheme accepts unix path
names. But when I tried to move a toy application to Windows and use
forms like:
(open-output-file "C:\Documents and Settings\Chris Gehlker\My
Documents\greeting.txt")
I get an "unknown escape sequence \D in string" error. How do I
specify paths in Windows without Scheme interpreting the backslashes
as escapes?
TIA
