Hi all,

I have a question about the filesystem that I could not resolve using the documentation. The problem is as follows: I have a file reference that is 2 separate strings that I need to join into one complete file ref but I don���t know how because I don���t know what the platform���s file separator is.

For example, on a unix-like OS I get ���/home/jfabry��� as one part and ���test/code/foo.txt��� as the other part, and I need to construct a FileReference to ���/home/jfabry/test/code/foo.txt���.On M$ I guess this would be 'C:\users\jfabry' and ���test\code\foo.txt���, so I need to construct FileReference to  'C:\users\jfabry\test\code\foo.txt���

And the bingo question is: what do I do if I both strings use different kinds of separators?

I  think

���/home/jfabry��� asFileReference resolve: ���test/code/foo.txt���

works on both platform, with both separators, no?

 

TIA,
