file path Windows format to java format

Question

I need to convert the file path in windows say C:\\Documents and Settings\\Manoj\\Desktop for java as C:/Documents and Settings/Manoj/Desktop .

Is there any utilit

Answer 1

Java 7 and up supports the Path class (in java.nio package). You can use this class to convert a string-path to one that works for your current OS.

Using:

Paths.get("\\folder\\subfolder").toString()

on a Unix machine, will give you /folder/subfolder. Also works the other way around.
