That is an acceptable path on Windows.

Thank flownder for your help

my file has two paths. the last path from database under Linux path with "/" and the first path is from computer. If it is Linux, I will enter /home/balalal/ for the first path and then add this path with the last path from database. Everything fine.

If the computer is Window, I need to change the first path to something like C:\\dsfsdf\\blabla and then add this first path to the last path from database. However, the last path is Linux path

There is simple way to overcome this

Thanks again

I don't know, I tought maybe he want to Print the path....

however

The pseudocode was posted must works

If you want that the path get \ instead /, use:

String windowsPath = "C:\\dsfsdf\\blabla";

String linuxPath = "/example/path"

String fullPath = windowsPath + linuxPath.replace('/', '\\');

SIGH! Leave the frigging slashes as /. That way it doesn't matter which platform it is run on it will work.

String only have function replaceAll and when I run, there is error:

Here is my code:

String aPath = "abc/abad/aafd.jpg";

String newPath = path.replaceAll("/", "\\");

The flownder's method is simple

suhua at 2007-7-12 21:20:31 >

# 14

Yep, I do not know how simple it is when using flownder's method

It's good to see my advice get ignored once again until someone reiterates it.BTW it's floUnder. U not W.

floundera at 2007-7-21 22:51:09 >

# 16

and then everybody reiterates it ...and the mis-spelling.

ejpa at 2007-7-21 22:51:09 >

# 17

No, I apply flounder's method before anyone reiterates it (post in 11 before 12)...However, the method "replace" is easy to understand with someone who is new to Java, so I tried it first.
