pathSeparatorChar doesn't work
I am learning how to create directories in Java. My teacher told me to use pathSeparatorChar instead of "\" in order to have compatibility with linux.
When I use File.pathSeparatorChar it is returning ";" instead of "\"
For example System.out.println(File.pathSeparatorChar) returns ";"
Some ideas?

Read the API for File...it distinctly explains what pathSeparatorChar will return. You don't define what you want to use this for...that being said there are other variables defined in the API that you might rather want to use for your purpose
File (Java Platform SE 6)

Thank you, I was using pathSeparatorChar instead of separatorChar.
