    Default How to print only the file name of a path

    Hi to all,
    with a QFileDialog I choose a file in my hard disk to process it.
    I would to print (with a cout) only the filename instead of the whole path.

    Here the code

    Qt Code:
    1. void CoinWidget::openAudioTrack()
    2. {
    3. QString audioFileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName( "../media",
    4. tr("Audio (*.wav *.mp3);;All Files(*)"),
    5. this,
    6. "open file dialog",
    7. "Choose an audio track");
    8.  
    9. if(!audioFileName.isEmpty())
    10. {
    11. cout << audioFileName.latin1() << endl; //<-----this print the whole path
    12.  
    13. // retrieve the root separator
    14. SoSeparator *lroot = model->getRoot();//about coin3d
    15.  
    16. m_sound->setAudioTrack(audioFileName.latin1());
    17. m_sound->enableContinuousPlay(true);
    18. m_sound->setVolume(0.5f);
    19. m_sound->playTrack();
    20. }
    21. else
    22. {
    23. cout << "No file selected" << endl;
    24. return;
    25. }
    26. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Where I wrote "this print the whole path" I also would print the filename istead.
    Any idea?
    Regards
    Franco Amato

    try this
    Qt Code:
    1. ...
    2. cout << audioFileName.section('/', -1).latin1() << endl;
    3. ...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    This solution is more elegant:

    Qt Code:
    1. QFileInfo fi(audioFileName);
    2. cout << fi.fileName().latin1() << endl;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Thank you very much.
    It works in both cases.
