That happens all the time, and is this use case that should possibly be addressed here - maybe something as simple as adding a couple of paragraphs to different places in the documentation could mitigate the issue.

The problem is that the user don't know that he should read the documentation. It just find that his script works with "C:\sample.txt", but doesn't work with "D:\test.txt". He has no ideas what happen.
