Is it possible that the MATLAB script behaves differently depending on the OS on which it is running?

Question

I am running MATLAB on Linux and Windows XP. My files are synchronized between all the computers that I use, but due to differences in the directory structure between Linux and Windows, I have to have separate import and export lines for different operating systems. Right now I'm just commenting out a line for the wrong OS, but I'm wondering if it is possible to write something like:

if OS == Windows
    datafile = csvread('C:\Documents and Settings\Me\MyPath\inputfile.csv');
else
    datafile = csvread('/home/Me/MyPath/inputfile.csv');
end

This is also a more general question that applies when you need to execute system commands from MATLAB with system('command').

if ispc 
    strFile = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Me\MyPath\inputfile.csv'; 
else 
    strFile = '/home/Me/MyPath/inputfile.csv'; 
end 

try
    datafile = csvread(strFile);
catch
    % setup any error handling
    error(['Error reading file : ',strFile]);
end
