I usually go by the standard of the operating system that is running the
software and that contains the files. One example of a generic form with the
variables for pathname and filename:
<pathname>/<filename>
And then you define the two variables:
Where <pathname> is the complete path to the directory
containing the file.
Where <filename> is the name of the file.
