    Default QDir not working as expected

    This is what I have been doing, the directory does exist but then the folder is never created by the mkdir functions. Maybe I am missing something trivial but I cannot seem to find many examples on this using QDir.

    pathname = C:\Documents and Settings\wrightc\Desktop\TESTS
    folder = Test*_Results;

    QDir directory(QString::fromStdString(pathname));
    if(directory.exists()){
    directory.mkdir(QString::fromStdString(folder));
    }

    Yes,you are.
    Use / instead of \
    And * is illegal character for a filename on Windows

    Does your filesystem accept "*" as part of directory name?
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
