Using Marklogic 8 Query Console Javascript on Windows 7

I am just starting to work with Marklogic and I am running simple commands like xdmp.document.load to ingest a json file

declareUpdate();
xdmp.documentLoad("C:\Users\Documents\SemanticData\Recipies\Tofu-Soup.json",
    {
      "uri" : "/documents/tofu-soup.json",
      "permissions" : xdmp.defaultPermissions(),
      "collections" : ["soup", "vegetarian"],
      "encoding" : 'UTF-8'
    })

I receive the following error where the path name has had all the "\" directory separators removed.

[javascript] SVC-FILOPN: xdmp.documentLoad("C:UsersDocumentsSemanticDataRecipiesTofu-Soup.json", {uri:"/documents/tofu-soup.json", permissions:[], collections:["soup", "vegetarian"], ...}) -- File open error: open 'C:UsersDocumentsSemanticDataRecipiesTofu-Soup.json': No such file or directory

I cannot find anything in the functions guide to illuminate me.

Any ideas

Use forward slash, or escape the backslash by doubling it. Backslash is an escape character in JavaScript strings.

HTH!

You can run command in following way. 

declareUpdate();
xdmp.documentLoad("C:\\Users\\Documents\\SemanticData\\Recipies\\Tofu-Soup.json",
    {
      "uri" : "/documents/tofu-soup.json",
      "permissions" : xdmp.defaultPermissions(),
      "collections" : ["soup", "vegetarian"],
      "encoding" : 'UTF-8'
    })
