Of course it will run, assuming that there are no syntax errors.

Besides that using raw strings or forward slashes will probably help.

Of course we don't actually know as you haven't shown us the actual error that you get, and our crystal balls broke down long ago owing to over use.

You might like to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and then http://sscce.org/ or even http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve and then ask again.

Kindest regards.
