File path names for Windows and Linux

Question

Below is a path to my Windows directory. Normally the path should have \\ instead of // but both seem to work.

String WinDir = \"C://trash//blah//blah\";
         


        

Answer 1

With java.nio.path, you even better get an independent OS path without any concern about path delimiter.

public class PathsGetMethod {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\conta\\OneDrive\\", "desktop", "data");
        System.out.println(path); 
        //C:\Users\conta\OneDrive\desktop\data
    }
}
