If I want to form a consistent path (say: Unix style), then I need to translate the backslashes in the user-supplied path to forward slashes. (My original reply has already been downvoted ... which is not a good sign ... though that depends upon who downvoted it, and why.) On windows, I generally find that it doesn't matter whether the user supplies / or \ as the path separator. For example, this works fine for me on windows (where the /_32/pscrpt/inline folder exists): In this case there's clearly no need for you to translate the backslashes to forward slashes. (I imagine that on Unix, however, things might be a little different :-) Other examples are: Translating a Unix path to Windows (for usage in a generated BAT file) Windows bat files will recognise the forward slash as a path separator ... at least that was the case for my test. (My test was to add "C:/b" to the path via a bat file, then check that an executable in C:/b ran, even though C:/b was not my cwd.)
