How to create a directory with a slash '/' in its name

Question

For example, I want to create a folder named "AC/DC". What should I do?

Dir.mkdir("AC/DC")

will give an error message like this

in `mkdir': No such file or directory @ dir_s_mkdir - AC/DC (Errno::ENOENT)

Have you considered using an alternative UNICODE character instead of a standard forward slash?

Perhaps you could use:

Dir.mkdir("AC／DC")

or

Dir.mkdir("AC∕DC")
