Re: [Pharo-users] How to construct a multi-part file reference

Hi Nicolai, I don’t know if it works with both separators, but it’s simple and works on MacOS at least, so that’s good enough for me now. Thanks for pointing it out to me ! > On May 8, 2016, at 11:53, Nicolai Hess wrote: > > > > 2016-05-07 0:33 GMT+02:00 Johan Fabry
