  Unable to find the Baseline file:
  C:\prj\IE6\TestAssets\Scripts\vp\ ab.Window Image.base.img.
  
  
  Steps to reproduce.

  Write any character into Notepad.
  Insert a VP.
  Remove the character from Notepad.
  Playback the script.

Problem conclusion

• If file name contains escape characters  such \r \t \n it
  was not working properly. Used unescape function for the
  filenames and that solved the issue.
