Are you sure a file exist whose name is, c, colon, tab, e, s, t ...? \t is an escape sequence and it means TAB (character of ascii code 9). Try 'c:/test.txt' -- using normal slash instead the backslash -- and you should be fine. You mention you have some experience with other languages: if those languages include C, or Java, or C++, and many others besides (all which use backslashes for escape sequences in strings), you'd have exactly the same issues.
