executing a .sql file in command line

Question

Doing

mysql -uroot -p -e source F:\code\mysql\mysql-data\myHfs\test.sql  

gives : ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'f:\\code\\mysql\\mysql-data\\myhfs\\test.sql'

But if i go inside the mysql command promt with just the mysql -uroot -p and then type in source F:\\code\\mysql\\mysql-data\\myHfs\\test.sql , i get the proper output.

the content of the above file being :

use gregs_list;
show tables;
select * from clown_info;

Edit : doing mysql -uroot -p < "F:\\code\\mysql\\mysql-data\\myHfs\\test.sql" -t seems to solve the problem.
