I thought I'd field this question in case someone has already done this,
before proceeding with trying to develop a function on my own.
I'm generating a number of files and to keep track of them, I'm also
outputting the names of these files to external files & datasets. Depending
on the platform I'm working on, Windows or Unix, i'd like to be able to
switch between UNIX filenames (with the "/") and Windows filenames
("\").
Does someone already have a function to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Samir.
