- //<description>
-
- // Convert from '/' to '\' path formats on NT, otherwise does nothing.
-
- // This proceedure can be used to try to unify path data to use the
-
- // forward slash character (a safer and more cross-platform way of
-
- // handling paths, since the forward slash is what Maya uses internally
-
- // to separate path names).
-
- //
-
- //<flags>
-
- // string $path
-
- // The path to be converted.
-
- //
-
- //<examples>
-
- // string $native = "c:\\examples\\scripts\\second\\city";
-
- // // Note the double backslashes used in input - in MEL, backslash is
-
- // // a special escape character and for it to be understood as the
-
- // // backslash character, two backslashes must be used
-
- // string $path = fromNativePath( $native );
-
- // // Result: c:/examples/scripts/second/city // On NT
-
- //
-
- //<returns>
-
- // string: The converted path.
