[Solved] Problem with creating new File!!!

[Peggy]

Hello everyone,

It is almost about 2 days that I tried to create new text file in my project but it does not work!! I would like to create a textfile in my current project, which already is not existed.

Here is my code:
@
QFile file;
file.setFileName(file_name +".txt");//file_name is the QString, which I get as aparameter
file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Text);
QTextStream stream(&file);
stream<<"Create Document";
QTextStream(stdout) << this->file_name; //To see the name of the file, which has just been typed
file.close();
@

I would be happy if someone could give me the tip.

ps: My operating system is Linux.

Hi,
Your code is working!!! I am able to create a new file with the same code..!!! tested on windows.

Are you sure that you have sufficient permissions?
What does QFile::error() state?

First of all thanks for answers.

I added QFile::error() befoe file.close(). And I don't see any error at console!!!!!

I would like to create the file in Linux so windows may not help me:(

@QString fileName = QFileDialog(this,Qt::Widget).getSaveFileName(this,"Salvar Arquivo Txt",getenv("HOME"),"Arquivos de Texto(*.txt)");
QFile arquivo(fileName);
arquivo.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text);
arquivo.write(textoQueEuQueroSalvar.toLatin());
arquivo.close();@

Did you check if the file is created but in another directory than the one you expect it to be? Try passing an absolute path as parameter.

[m.derempoukas]

On second thought add that , to check where do you actually save

@QFileInfo fi(file);
QTextStream(stdout)<<fi.absoluteFilePath();@

[felipe.c.sousa]

try use that to
@QString filename = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this,"Salvar relatório ...",diretorio+"\Desktop","Arquivos Pdf(*.pdf)");@

Hello all,

thanks for all the answers and especially thanks to "m.derempoukas". I finally could track where my file has been saved and it was on build_desktop directory.

Now I am relieved:)

suggestion, check the return from your QFile::open(). That can tell you if your file actually opened correctly...

@
QFile file(QString(file_name).append(".txt"));
qDebug() << "File location: " << QString(file_name).append(".txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Text)){
qDebug() << "File open failed";
return -1;
}
QTextStream stream(&file);
stream << "Create Document";
QTextStream(stdout) << this->file_name; //To see the name of the file, which has just been typed
file.close();
return 0;
