Windows file paths

807569Sep 11 2006 — edited Sep 11 2006

Hi All,
As I have tried a few times, the windows file path separator (\) character is not directly compatible with the way java works.
So if I have to create

File file = new File("C:\temp");
the file won't work, I need to append the escape sequence \ also like,

File file = new File("C:\\temp");

What I wanted to know is there any java utility classes provided by JDK to convert this kind of file path to directly File objects?

Please suggest.
Regards
Ayusman
