Problem while trying to copy an XML file from one location to another in Linux

[payal]

Hi all,

I am facing one problem while copying an XML file from one place to another place in my filesystem.I am using following code for copying. Test1 and Test2 are the different folders.

but everytime both the boolean variables are returning false.I dont have any idea.

Could anyone plz help me ?

QString FirstPath = QDir::currentPath()+QDir::separator()+"Test1"+ QDir::separator() +"Test1.xml";
    FirstPath = QDir::toNativeSeparators(FirstPath);
    qDebug()<<FirstPath;
 
    QString SecondFilePath = QDir::currentPath()+QDir::separator()+"Test1" + QDir::separator()+ "Test2" +QDir::separator()+ "Test2.xml";
    SecondFilePath = QDir::toNativeSeparators(SecondFilePath);
    qDebug()<<SecondFilePath;
    QFile file;
 
    if (!file.exists(FirstPath))
    {
       QFile file(SecondFilePath);
       bool ret1= file.copy(FirstPath);
       qDebug()<<ret1;
    }
    QFile prefFile(FirstPath);
 
    bool ret2=  prefFile.setPermissions(QFile::WriteUser);
    qDebug()<<ret2;

QString FirstPath = QDir::currentPath()+QDir::separator()+"Test1"+ QDir::separator() +"Test1.xml";
    FirstPath = QDir::toNativeSeparators(FirstPath);
    qDebug()<<FirstPath;

    QString SecondFilePath = QDir::currentPath()+QDir::separator()+"Test1" + QDir::separator()+ "Test2" +QDir::separator()+ "Test2.xml";
    SecondFilePath = QDir::toNativeSeparators(SecondFilePath);
    qDebug()<<SecondFilePath;
    QFile file;

    if (!file.exists(FirstPath))
    {
       QFile file(SecondFilePath);
       bool ret1= file.copy(FirstPath);
       qDebug()<<ret1;
    }
    QFile prefFile(FirstPath);

    bool ret2=  prefFile.setPermissions(QFile::WriteUser);
    qDebug()<<ret2;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Trying to access these paths,

Test1->Test2->Test2.xml & Test1->Test1.xml

Why don't you use: bool QFile::copy ( const QString & fileName, const QString & newName ) [static]

Furthermore, did you check whether the source file exists according to QFile?

[high_flyer]

Are you trying to overwrite a file?

Note that if a file with the name newName already exists, copy() returns false (i.e. QFile will not overwrite it).

yaa, i tried with bool QFile::copy ( const QString & fileName, const QString & newName ) [static] also...............


but the result is same....its not copied............

Your code is confusing. What are you trying? Copying FirstPath to SecondFilePath or SecondFilePath to FirstPath. If you want "FirstPath to SecondFilePath" then your syntax if wrong.
How does your file system and privileges look like? Post the return of "ls -lAhR" inside your directory: QDir::currentPath()+QDir::separator()+"Test1".

EDIT: forget about the "ls -lAhR" since you are working on windows. Then you must write it by hand...
