file separator in place of forward slashes in path in java

Question

I have the below property code in my java class

certificateDerFile = System.getProperty("catalina.base")
                + "//logs//Cert_patch.der";

Now my query is that in the path "//logs//Cert_patch.der", it should be refactored such // slashes should not be there should be some file separator which should work both in windows and Linux, please advise how to achieve the same.

I don't believe you have to escape normal slashes, only backslashes. — NomadMaker, Apr 16 '20 at 21:39
You don't need to escape `/`, you only need to escape ```\``` in Java. And on Windows you can use both `/` and ```\``` as a path separator. — Mark Rotteveel, Apr 17 '20 at 14:32

File.separator is either / or \ that is used to split up the path to a spec
ific file. For example on Windows it is \ or C:\Documents\Test

For example:

String path = File.separator + "var"+ File.separator + "temp"

Linux: /var/temp

Windows: \var\temp

@yrturgjririohrjkrh Why do you need the particular path from your question? IMHO this answer is fairly clear. Can you explain why your path is different? – Robert Apr 16 '20 at 16:22
