Filenames on MacOSX cannot contain '/', period. Any time the
Finder/file selection dialog shows a file with '/' in the name, that
is actually a ':' in the filename.
So, if the user wants you to put a '/' in a filename, simply replace
it with a ':'. If the user wants a ':' in the filename, either don't
allow it, or pass it through unchanged (in which case the user will
see a ':' if they look at the file in the Terminal, and a '/' if they
look at the file in the GUI).

I am using:
urlPath = (NSURL *) CFURLCreateCopyAppendingPathComponent (NULL, (CFURLRef)
parentFolder, (CFStringRef) filename, false);
parentFolder is an NSURL and filename is an NSString
How can I properly handle the case where filename contains an "/"?
Basically I have a string that I want to turn into a filename and append to
a partial path, but the string might contain "/". Note that the string might
contain ":" as well so I need to deal with that case as well.
Thanks,
