Hi This is really 4 questions:
One: Since Windows users the '\' (backslash) character and Linux uses the '/' (foreslash) character in file paths, have I got those the right way around? Two: What do Macs use for directory path separator character? Three: Is the a cross-platform function (or procedure) for correcting the file path separator character? I believe that there is one. e.g. c:\Program Files\Fred's software\data (folder) >>> c:/Program Files/Fred's software/data (folder) Yes, I am well aware the c:\Program Files\ does usually exist on Linux systems. Actually, if it does exist it will be: ~/Home/.wine/drive_c/ (folder) with Wine installed. So, it would become ~/Home/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Fred's software/data/ (folder) Four: Is the a compiler directive (cross-platform) or other way of detecting the OS of the user's system? pew Fond Regards, Peter Eric WILLIAMS --- Hobart, Tasmania, Australia --- Phone: +61 (03) 6236-9675 My free websites are: http://pewink.info (&) http://pewslinuxvault.googlepages.com
