title: Loading file using scikit-learn load_files
body: <p>I downloaded the <a href="http://qwone.com/~jason/20Newsgroups/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">20 newsgroup tar file</a> and extracted it. I pointed the <code>load_files</code> function to the train file, but I keep getting error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "D:\Python\DataScience\t.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt;
      data=load_files("\dataSet\20news-bydate\20news-bydate-train")
    File "C:\Users\Khoa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\sklearn\datasets\base.py", line 166, in load_files
      folders = [f for f in sorted(listdir(container_path))
  OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: '\\dataSet\x10news-bydate\x10news-bydate-train'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data=load_files("\dataSet\20news-bydate\20news-bydate-train")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you show me the correct code?</p>
