Found it: blackslashes must be doubled:
==========
data = io.open("C:\\places.txt","r") 
==========

However, Lua doesn't print anything, although I'm sure the regex is
correct (tested in UltraEdit):
==========
for token in string.gmatch(line, '<a href="/places/.+?\.php">') do
	print(token)
end
==========
