when i compile this java code, i get an error saying illegal escape characters, i have no idea what that means, but look :

mouse1.java:43: illegal escape character
File f = new File("C:\Documents and Settings\Charinthra Fonseka\Desktop\Record Take 26.wav");

there is a little arrow in the program that points to the second backslash in the "C:\...." address line. then the other errors are the same illegal escape characters error pointing to the rest of the backslash lines in the "C:\..." address.

thnx

In C++ you must escape the escape codes, so i assume its the same for java, it then becomes:
File f = new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Charinthra Fonseka\\Desktop\\Record Take 26.wav");

Its the escape code for a slash, for example \n is new line.
