Path from JFileChooser in Java Format

How to make a JFileChooser return the file path in the format, that Java could open the file?

.getPath() returns the path with \ (on Windows), but I want it to return the path with / Is this possible?

The method getSelectedFile() of JFileChooser will return a File object that is enough to open a file. If you don't want this file to open, but only to return its path, you can call File's method getAbsolutePath(). It will return a file path in form dependent on operating system.

To get the path use (fc is JFileChooser object):

String path = fc.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath().replace('\\', '/');
