File path issue on Win32 only

[Michael Hopkins]

Hi all


In a Foundation tool, we initialise an object with a file in the path where
the executable resides:

  [[Experiment alloc] initFromFile:@"test.gpe"];


It uses this code internally:

  -(Experiment *)        initFromFile:(NSString *) filePath
  {
    NSString*  file_off_disk = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
  

This works fine on OS X and Linux, but gives the following error on Win32:

  2007-02-23 13:46:39.987 test.exe[1300] File NSData.m: 167. In
readContentsOfFile() attempt failed - The filename, directory name, or
volume label syntax is incorrect.


Tried this as an attempted quick fix but it doesn't help:

  [[Experiment alloc] initFromFile:[@"test.gpe" stringByStandardizingPath]];


Is there an object and/or method available in Foundation that lets me easily
convert local filenames to global ones in a form that all systems will
understand?

Thx

Michael
