Hi Martin,
thank you very much. I wonder whether the implementation is
platform independent?
// First, ask the JDK for the base file name.
String fileName = new File(filePath).getName();
What happens, if a Unix path is put here on Windows system or
vice versa? Can the File still be created?
Do I understand the File api docu right, that calling new
File(path) translates the path into system independend one?
What would File do, if it gets the path c:\halloballo.txt on a
Unix box?
Unfortunately I can't test it as I have only one machine.
