The name-separator character in Java
Posted: | Categories: Java, Programming
Java was born as a platform-independent programming language. Some features that grant the platform independence are
achieved using the APIs of the language itself. For example, to construct a filename path, you can use the public static
field separator of the java.io.File
class.
Example:
String path = java.io.File.separator + "foldername" + java.io.File.separator + "filename";
This produces the string /foldername/filename
under Unix-like systems and \foldername\filename
under Windows systems.
