          Going by the feedback in the error message, it looks like the backslashes need to be escaped. I would first try this:



          sqlite> .import C:/Users/Fries/Desktop/city.csv


          The following might also work, using escaped backslashes:



          sqlite> .import C:\Users\Fries\Desktop\city.csv
