Windows 10 logstash config parse error [Expected one of #, {, } at line 11, column 17 ]

Hi,

While loading a CSV file into logstash, I am seeing error about Config's line#11 ( separator => "," ) which looks pretty normal to me. Can someone suggest what's wrong here.

Config:

input {
file {
path => "c:\Work\csvs\toxicity.csv"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "c:\Work"
}
}

filter {
csv {
separator => ","
columns => ["pod","client","trader","ric","Side","washbook",
"dollarvalue","hedgedPNL","bps","bps10","commvalue","profit","bpsTotal"]
}
}

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "locahost:9200"
index => "Toxicity"
document_type => "Toxicity"
}
stdout {
}
}

Error:

sincedb_path must be a file path and not a directory path. C:\Work seems directory.
