Just because it works on all OS today doesn't mean it will always be the
case.
For example, just over the past few years, two operating systems have
emerged with "novel" ways of viewing the file system (Android and iOS).
I don't think hardcoding '/' instead of using File.separatorChar is worth
th
File.separator is portable, / is not, ugly or not always opt for the
more portable option.
For example, this code;
---
import java.io.*;
public class FileSeparator
{
public static void main(String[] argv)
One thing I will say, it'll *really* annoy anyone trying to do any kind of
text processing against a log file that contains the "wrong" separator...
Use / by all means, but replace it with the system default before using the
path. In Java, I tend to write a small normalisePath function or some suc
IMO if you agree that "/" works in all relevant cases, then using a
new constant doesn't make any more sense than saying a comma separated
list should be build using a "Punctuation.COMMA" constant. Or my name
should start with a "Letter.P" constant.
Just my opinion,
Letter.P + Letter.H + Letter.
I think you'd want to use "File.separator" instead of hard coding "/" for the
same reasons constants are better than hard-coded values in general.
It captures the semantic context of the constant value, for one thing. It's
clear that you intend to use a file separator character in that context.
Yeah, that's my experience. You might need it if you are building
paths for display or whatever. There might be some other weird
conditions where you might need it (edit or building existing paths).
But for something simple like new File("./path/file"); I can't see why
you would need the File.sep
I think the logic in the article is backward. I agree that in order for Google
to continue as a major player in the click-through ad business, they need to
dominate the hand-held market. But the fact they "need to dominate the
hand-held market" has absolutely no bearing on whether they will succ

Hi Dick
"Android is winning because it's free"
I think Kontra meant that because Android is free, handset
manufacturers don't have to spend much time and money on good phone
software they have Android and its free :), thats why it will win. Not
really to do with cost of the phone!
On Tue, De
great feedback from you all.
But still think it will sum up Google 100%.
I don't understand why people are so easy going about Google data retention!
Anyways :)

sorry for the spam, I'm going to copy-pasta some of my googling and

I find code that uses the "File.separator" field irritating. It makes
the code uglier and best I can tell "/" works everywhere, including
windows. Does anyone know if there is a reason to use File.separator
instead of just "/"? My guess is unless you are writing java code

I too thought that comment was dumb. Right now a lot more money is
being made by developing for iOS than Android, so this comment doesn't
make sense... I found the whole article just weird.

This is an example of opinionated garbage.

Hi Paul, thanks for sharing but the article is mostly garbage.
I actually think Google has done a great job in the usability
department for apps like Google Maps, Gmail and Chrome*.
This idea that only Apple can do good UX is quite honestly nonsense,
just look at iTunes and Quicktime on Windows,

Sure, Google Search, Chrome, Gmail, Earth, Maps, Sky Map, etc. are all
unbearably horrible to use.
