    Have a look at QFile for handling the actual I/O and QTextStream for writing the QString from the line edit into the file.

    Thanks for the quick reply, actually my code is...

    void New:n_pushButton_clicked()
    {

    QString fileName1=ui->lineEdit->text();

    qDebug()<<fileName1;

    QFile file(fileName1);
    if(file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    {
    QTextStream stream(&file);
    stream<< "Employ Name:"<<(ui->lineEdit->text()) <<"\n"<<"Employ ID:"<<(ui->lineEdit_2->text());
    stream.flush();
    file.close();
    }

    //exit(1);
    close();
    }

    Actually the files are creating in my project folder...but how to save those files in a specific folder....
    Thank in advance..

    If you set file name by
    Qt Code:
    1. QFile file("myfile.txt");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    The file will be created in the current working directory - in the project directory unless you have changed CWD.

    The file name can contain a directory, for example:
    Qt Code:
    1. QFile file("/home/me/here/myfile.txt");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    The file will be created in /home/me/here .

    For example:
    Qt Code:
    1. QString defDir = "/home/me/here/";
    2. QString fileName1 = ui->lineEdit->text();
    3. QFile file;
    4.  
    5. if( fileName1.contains('/') ) file.setFileName(fileName1); // if fileName1 contains a directory
    6. else file.setFileName(defDir + fileName1); //else set default directory
    7.  
    8. if( file.open( ... ) )
    9. {
    10. ...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Connect to the line edit's editingFinished() signal and perform the check in that slot.

    First of all : start reading the Qt manual.
