giving file path in unix and windows

hi,

i'm having problem with reading file from both windows and unix as now i give

if (os == win)

file="mydir\\mydir1\\myfile"

else

file="mydir/mydir1/myfile"

wherei get mydir* from environment.

and then open that file.

but i feel the above is clumsy and is more like C #ifdef

Can you please help me out on this.

Thanks & Regards

Rajkumar

hi,

use the System property "file.separator" to figure out the seperator.

for eg

java.util.Properties prop = System.getProperties();

String separator = prop.getProperty("file.separator");

System.out.println("separator :" + separator);

hope that helpz

cheerz
