File I/O with Mac OS X

[Leonard Slatkin]

This is my first attempt at file I/O, so if it sounds like I don't know
what I'm doing, I don't!

If I'm going to read a file (using a FileInputStream) from disk in Mac
OS X, how do I specify the path and directory? That is, where does it
start looking, (in Users\myusername ?), and how do I specify the
delimiters? (like "directory\\filename")?

Try this..

File f = new File(".");
System.out.println( File.pathSeparator );
System.out.println( File.separator );
System.out.println( f.getCanonicalPath() );

That might get you started..
