Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
