I tried to copy a .txt file from my Desktop to my Documents folder. It failed the first time I tried to run the first line. Then I re-opened a new session as a system administrator. I tried doing the first line again, but I am not entirely sure what had happened. I am positive that it succeded, but I do not know what it was that I just did. The second line, though, did precisely what I had intended. Anyway, can anyone versed in this subject educate me about what I just did? Basically, I am having some confusion about the uses of forward and backward slashes, here. I must have these answers. --- Number XII: Larxene. The Organization's Savage Nymph. ...

directories on a computer use a backslash. web urls use a forward slash. --- now i can't kill the crazy that's behind my eyes ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's good to note for future reference. So thanks.
But I'm still confused as to what is being done, here. --- Number XII: Larxene. The Organization's Savage Nymph. ... Copied to Clipboard!
