Problem compiling with truffle, stuck on importing openzeppelin

Question

I'm doing a tutorial on blockgeeks and have been stuck for hours.

This is the error i get when trying to compile my project

Compiling your contracts...
===========================

ParserError: Expected string literal (path), "*" or alias list.

  |
2 | import '@openzeppelin\contracts\token\ERC721\ERC721.sol';
  |        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Compilation failed. See above.

This is the code for my solidity file.

pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.9.0;

import ""@openzeppelin\contracts\token\ERC721\ERC721.sol";

contract Virus is ERC721 {
  constructor() public ERC721("CryptoVirus", "Virus") {

  }
}

Any help would be appreciated as I am driving myself crazy with this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled truffle and openzeppelin and still no joy.

Thanks

You have a typo in your import statememnt.

import ""@openzeppelin\contracts\token\ERC721\ERC721.sol";

opens with two quote signs "". Replace it to just one "

import "@openzeppelin\contracts\token\ERC721\ERC721.sol";
