Could someone with Mac knowledge chime in?

[Genius 49]

I'm making a save/load preferences feature on one of my scripts, and want to make it compatible with Mac machines as well.

 String path = ("C:\\Users\\" + System.getProperty("user.name") + "\\DreamBot\\Genius Scripts\\");

^This will only work on windows, of course.

 

The full snippet creates the directory if it doesn't exist, and saves a preferences text file that the "load" part of the snippet reads to fetch user settings.

 

Since I'd like it to work with Mac machines as well, I would need someone with a Mac to tell me the "DreamBot" folders path on their machine.

 

I read something about "~" is the C drive equivalent? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use this. It will work on mac, linux and windows

// this returns "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\DreamBot" or the equivalent in other operating systems
public static String getStorageDirectory(){
   return System.getProperty("scripts.path").replace(File.separator + "Scripts","");
}
