In the ref guide we duplicate all out bin/solr post examples to deal with the / for unix/Mac and \ for windows.
I asked ChatGPT about this, and it said that Java just deals with it… I was thinking we could reduce the duplication by just providing the linux example, and not labeling it “Linux/Mac” and not having a separate windows one… Thoughts? Eric What ChatGPT said: In Java, the file path handling is designed to be platform-independent, so a path like example/films/films.json will generally work on both Unix-based systems (like Linux or macOS) and Windows, regardless of the underlying file system conventions. Java's File class, which is used to interact with the file system, automatically handles the differences in path separators between platforms. On Unix-based systems, the path separator is the forward slash (/), while on Windows, it's the backslash (\). When you pass a path like example/films/films.json to Java, it will interpret the path correctly on both platforms. On Windows, Java will automatically convert the forward slashes to backslashes as needed. Similarly, if you pass a Windows-style path like example\films\films.json, Java will also handle that correctly on both Unix-based systems and Windows. The key point is that Java abstracts away the differences in file system conventions between platforms, allowing your code to work consistently across different operating systems. As long as you use Java's file system APIs (such as File, Path, or Paths), you don't need to worry about the underlying path separator characters. _______________________ Eric Pugh | Founder | OpenSource Connections, LLC | 434.466.1467 | http://www.opensourceconnections.com <http://www.opensourceconnections.com/> | My Free/Busy <http://tinyurl.com/eric-cal> Co-Author: Apache Solr Enterprise Search Server, 3rd Ed <https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/apache-solr-enterprise-search-server-third-edition-raw> This e-mail and all contents, including attachments, is considered to be Company Confidential unless explicitly stated otherwise, regardless of whether attachments are marked as such.
