SYSTEMVARIABLE\Y.TXT

Let's try shall we, since both are here already?
See them eye each other:
/\
Now they're testing their strength:
/ \
Oh, looks like an early end to that fight: Forward slash was actually a semi-colon in drag, causing backslash to faint:
; _
> Both in windows and Linux platform> we have to use forward slashNo, Windows does not recognize a forward slash in file paths. In Java, you can use forward slash even on Windows because the conversion to the actual path is a part of the internal implementation.
