Need some help on this

Hi

we have a directory like
\Docklinks\Attachments in unix system

This path is set from back end Oracle

Update doctypes set path="\docklinks\attchments"

if we attach the documents from front end application then the attchments will store in the unix system or not?

Actuall we have to restrict storing documents in the server

May i know what is Black slash path in Unix systems

I am a little confused over what you need. First thing to point out is that *nix system are case-sensitive, whereas Windows is not.

*nix systems use the backslash (\) to delimit directories, Windows uses the forward slash (/).

What you 'attach', whatever process that means will depend upon the configuration of both the application and the platform upon which it runs.

Other way round: Windows is \, *nix is /

Backslash to a Unix system is just another character, though it does need to be quoted occasionally (most shells, C programs, perl, awk etc).

Code:

$ mkdir "bs\\path"
$ ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 sc sc 4096 2012-12-04 17:58 bs\path
$ cd bs\\path/
$ pwd
/home/sc/test/bs\path

Though if you're running Oracle on your windows box, and the file system is on a shared network drive (via NFS or SAMBA), then the network file system should take care of \ to / mappings for you.

SimonJM agrees: *slaps head* You'd never think I used to be a Unix sysprog, huh?
