I'm trying to use: import java.io.File;   in java using Visual Studio Code. I write this line: File friends = new File("HelpMe.txt");   The text file is stored in the src folder which contains the code I'm using, but it says the file is not found. So I try this line: File friends = new File("G:\Data Structures\DataStructures2022\2022\src\HelpMe.txt"); //yes I know so many folder paths, I was half asleep when I was setting the program up This is the path of the text file and the code I'm using. It brings the message of "Invalid escape sequence" What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something, or forgotten?

I'm trying to use: import java.io.File;   in java using Visual Studio Code. I write this line:

File friends = new File("HelpMe.txt");
 
The text file is stored in the src folder which contains the code I'm using, but it says the file is not found. So I try this line:
File friends = new File("G:\Data Structures\DataStructures2022\2022\src\HelpMe.txt");
//yes I know so many folder paths, I was half asleep when I was setting the program up
This is the path of the text file and the code I'm using. It brings the message of "Invalid escape sequence"
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something, or forgotten?
