NodeJS throws module_not_found

When I'm importing modules using require, it throws a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error. (mymain.js)

var counter = require(".\count");
var array=[10,20,30];
console.log(counter(array));

Here is the module that I'm trying to import(count.js)

 var counter = function(arr){
    return 'length= '+arr.length;
};
module.exports = counter ;

Both of these codes are in the same directory. Node mymain throws the following error.

D:\Programming\NodeJS>node mymain
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1017
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '.count'

You have used backward slash in the require module statement, that won't work. The correct way is to use forward slash like this:

var counter = require("./count");

The backward slash works as an escape character.
