I am not sure that this applies to command lines - if I put a file
path with / in a variable, then pass that variable to a command line
tool, I think that fails. So I constantly have to put these kinds
of variables in \\ form rather than s# before calling the CLT. Actually
what I do is to help with porting is set a variable to / or \\ based
on what OS I am in, use that variable as a directory/file separator,
then use [\\/] in regexes that parse paths. Hopefully there is
a better way?
The same would probably be true for environment variables, which
looks like what this Oracle thing is for.
