QFileInfo

[ishkabible]

so im trying to use QFileInfo to do a number of things, i'm struggling with how to take a full file path and take off the sufix and add a new one. i preety sure that QFileInfo can do this i just don't know how. i think there is a way to get the filepath that excludes the filename it'self, just the directory it's in is what i need. is there a way to do this?

i'm struggling with how to take a full file path

QFileInfo::absoluteFilePath()

and take off the sufix

QFileInfo::baseName()

and add a new one.

QString::append

i think there is a way to get the filepath that excludes the filename it'self, just the directory it's in is what i need.

QFileInfo::absoluteDir() or QFileInfo::absolutePath()

is there a way to do this?

Yes, read the docs of the class you are using.

thanks i got it to work, kinda long though

system(QString(QFileInfo(FileNames[Tabs->currentIndex()]).dir().absolutePath()+"/"+GetApplicationName(FileNames[Tabs->currentIndex()])+".exe").toAscii());

system(QString(QFileInfo(FileNames[Tabs->currentIndex()]).dir().absolutePath()+"/"+GetApplicationName(FileNames[Tabs->currentIndex()])+".exe").toAscii());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

What is this exactly supposed to do?
