FileNameJoin

FileNameJoin[{"name₁", "name₂", ...}]
joins the name_i together into a file name suitable for your current operating system.

The "name_i" can be either individual names or file paths containing pathname separators.

FileNameJoin[{"", "name₁", ...}] gives an absolute file path beginning with a pathname separator.

FileNameJoin[..., OperatingSystem->"os"] yields a file name in the format for the specified operating system. Possible choices are "Windows", "MacOSX" and "Unix".

FileNameJoin just assembles a file name; it does not actually search for the file specified.

FileNameJoin["name"] canonicalizes the file name "name", making pathname separators appropriate for your operating system.
