The forward slash (/) is quite popular. For example web pages' addresses
begin with "http://";. (My quotation marks.)
Yet the forward slash is not acceptable for many computer functions. For
example the slash cannot be used for Windows Explorer names.
Is there a way to make the slash acceptable? If so, how can I make the
forward slash acceptable?
The forward slash is a so called illegal character for use in file names...
the answer to your question is "no"
***However*** you may want to use a very similar looking character...viz
the division slash
(character map U+2044)
Windows explorer will accept that and it will look just like a foreward
slash
.
