File paths manipulation in scala

Is there some nice way to safely manipulate file paths in Scala, transcending naive string manipulation?

I mean smart concatenation that adds missing slashes between path parts, Unix v.s. Windows slashes, automatically escaping spaces in paths, etc?

What would be a nice Java fallback for that?

These days, better-files is one of the simplest and most widely used.

Previous answer: If you're willing to use an external library, rapture.io makes it about as easy as it can get.

You can do it this way:

import java.io.File

val a = "abc/def"
val b = "ghi/jk"
new File(a,b).getPath
// res0: String = abc/def/ghi/jk
