Thread: Check OS

Hi all,
I am a new in java
and i need to check OS of the system
every where i have "\\" i need to modify to "/"
So i write something like this in my class Constants

 public static boolean isWindows;

and in the class Login that is the main class

private void checkOS() {
        if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")) {
            Constants.isWindows = true;
        } else {
            Constants.isWindows = false;
        }
 
    }

So the question is how to use this code or how to modify in the "\\" to "/" what i need to write there?

Please help me to understand

Thank you

File.pathSeparator return me only "\" or "/", but i need "\\".

Thank you for your replay, it's a good idea

If you need this two times, why don't you concatenate the file separator the number of times you want to???

But do you understand why you need "\\"? For example, print that out, and then compare "\\" to what File.separator returns.

Ok thank you
