  The "\" slashes in a windows path act as escape sequences. You have 2 options here (AFAIK), depending on how your obtaining/generating your path:

  1/ Just use "/" slashes instead, so "C:\Windows" becomes "C:/Windows"

  2/ or if you have to use "\", then for every "\" you need to add a "\" to escape it, so:

  var path = "C:\Windows\Fonts";

  becomes

  var path = "C:\\Windows\\Fonts";

  then you can split it like this:

  var a = path.split("\u005c");

  where "\u005c" is the unicode equivalent of "\"
