A similar phenomenon occurs for DOS/Windows paths, where the backslash is used as a path separator, requiring a doubled backslash \\ – this can then be re-escaped for a regular expression inside an escaped string, requiring \\\\ to match a single backslash.
To support portable programs Java uses File.separator to distinguish between / and \ separated paths. Seed7 has a different approach for the path representation. In Seed7 all paths use the Unix path convention, independent of the operating system. Under windows a mapping takes place (e.g.: The path /c/users is mapped to c:\users).
A greater-than sign (>) often serves as a hierarchy separator, although designers may use other glyphs (such as » or ›), as well as various graphical icons. A breadcrumb trail or path based on viewing history is typically rendered as follows: Page viewed > Page viewed > Page viewed > Page viewed > Page currently being viewed
In some systems, a filename reference that does not include the complete directory path defaults to the current working directory. This is a relative reference. This is a relative reference. One advantage of using a relative reference in program configuration files or scripts is that different instances of the script or program can use ...
Node.js is a cross-platform, open-source JavaScript runtime environment that can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, macOS, and more. Node.js runs on the V8 JavaScript ...
In the Windows APIs and the DOS APIs since v2.0 (DOS v1.x didn't have directories) both "/" and "\" are valid path separators. The problem is that command.com & cmd.exe (and in general: most command lines) treat "/" as an option prefix (I think this had originally something to do with CP/M compatibility) and because of that you can't always use "/" as a path separator there (you can when ...
A screenshot of the original 1971 Unix reference page for glob – the owner is dmr, short for Dennis Ritchie.. glob() (/ ɡ l ɒ b /) is a libc function for globbing, which is the archetypal use of pattern matching against the names in a filesystem directory such that a name pattern is expanded into a list of names matching that pattern.
Slash is also not handled purely at the command line; the file system APIs are handed path names, and treat / as a pathname separator at that layer. The on-disk structure of UN*X file systems theoretically allow a file name in a directory to contain a "/", but there's no way to do that using any UN*X file system API, nor is there a way, using ...
