use
file.separator
or the Path class
String rootStorePath = Paths.get("c:/projects/mystuff/").toString();
unless you are using a regular expression, in which case you should use
Pattern.quote(File.separator)
If you are creating a new file, use file.separator
String new_directory_for_new_files = directory+File.separator+"new directory";
Note that to use file separators in a regular expression that will work in any operating system use Pattern.quote(File.separator)
