Changing a file extension inside the code

**fortyhideout12** · 19th February 2010, 19:20

So currently a tool I developed has the ability to open two types of files - .xml & .tormatx(.tormatxis just a unique extension I'm using to enable users to not save them as .xml; just for consistency reasons)

Qt Code:

Switch view

void Tormat_Main::open( const QString &p_fn ) {
	QString fileName;
	if( p_fn.isEmpty() ) { // ask user for a file
 
		fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open State"), 
			baseFolder, tr("TomatFiles (*.tormatx*.xml)"));
 
		if (fileName.isEmpty()) { return; }
	} else { // use passed file

void Tormat_Main::open( const QString &p_fn ) {
	QString fileName;
	if( p_fn.isEmpty() ) { // ask user for a file

		fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open State"), 
			baseFolder, tr("TomatFiles (*.tormatx*.xml)"));

		if (fileName.isEmpty()) { return; }
	} else { // use passed file

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thats the code for opening a file...

My question is, how do I make it so if a user opens up a .xml extension, the program will automatically convert it to .xsps without any user interaction????

Thanks for the help guys
