I am facing the following error on the cmd:

 

command:

grunt> A =  LOAD 'C:\data\myfile.txt';

or 

grunt> a = load 'c:\data\myfile.txt' using PigStorage(' ') as (f1:int,f2:int, f3:int);

error:
<line 1, column 14>  Unexpected character 'D'

You should represent your data in this case: 'C:\\data\\myfile.txt'.

I had the same problem.
