Path.PathSeparator
gives you the character used to separate paths in environment variables, i.e. you use it between paths.
For example, your system's PATH
environment variable will typically list multiple paths where the OS will look for applications to run.
On Windows, Path.PathSeparator
is ;
, and Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
is \
. Two paths would be stored in an environment variable like this:
set PATH="C:\first\path;C:\second\path"
