QDir::entryList() get absolute path

Hi

I'm trying to get all folder names with absolute paths. My question is maybe kinda simple, does my implementation have any pitfalls?


QDir dir("R:/");
dir.entryList(QDir::Dirs | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot).replaceInStrings(QRegExp("^"),dir.absolutePath())

QDir::entryList() only returns a QStringList containing directory names without full paths.

So my simple one line solution would be using QStringList::replaceInStrings() with
parameters QRegExp("^") and dir.absolutePath(),
which should add the string "R:/" as a prefix to each directory entry, giving me full paths.
As I said, does my solution have any pitfalls like for example if the QRegExp("^") might get applied elsewhere in the string instead of only in the beginning as a prefix?

I have tried naming folders with spaces, symbols and it seems to me that it works.
Maybe I'm just paranoid but I would love to hear about your expert opinions :). Much appreciated.

Also, would be nice if you guys and gals could share your favorite solutions.

(It's a pity IMHO that QDir::absoluteEntryList() doesn't exist)

Thanks for reading

What's about using QDir::entryInfoList() and then use them. If you need a QStringList with the path then iterate over the list and use e.g. QFileInfo::absolutePath().

Yeah I thought about it first, to iterate through each QFileInfo and let that handle the absolute paths return, maybe that is safer.
