How to escape forward slash in java so that to use it in path

Question

I am trying to escape forward slash in String which can be used in path using Java.
For example: String:: "Test/World"
Now I want to use above string path.At the same time I have to make sure that "Test/World" will come as it is in path. Sorry if its duplicate but I couldn't find any satisfactory solution for this. My purpose is to use above string to create nodes in Zookeeper.
Example:
If I use following string to create node in Zokkeeper then I should get "Test/World" as a single node not separate. Zookeeper accepts "/" as path separator which in some cases I dont require. /zookeeper/HellowWorld/Test/World

Thanks

You should know about File.separator ... This is safer than \ or / because Linux and Windows use different file separators. Using File.separator will make your program run regardless of the platform it is being run on, after all, that is the point of the JVM. -- forward slash will work, however, File.separator will make you end users more confident that it will.

And you don't need to escape "/ ... you should also see the answer to this question

String fileP = "Test" + File.separator + "World";
