QDir - Filter by file name, not extension

[bluscape]

I would like to list the files in a directory with similar names (not extension).

For example, list all files that sounds like "Apple". (Apple1.txt, Apple2.txt, Apple3.txt)

To list files by extension I would to this:

@
QStringList nameFilter("*.txt");
QDir directory("/home/");
QStringList FilesAndDirectories = directory.entryList(nameFilter);
@

But how do I list by file name?

@
QStringList nameFilter("Apple*");

Your default filter is set to NoFilter!!

see definition:

QStringList QDir::entryList(const QStringList & nameFilters, Filters filters = NoFilter, SortFlags sort = NoSort) const

so you can specify the Filters see:
"QDir::Filters":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qdir.html#Filter-enum

at the link is allso an example :-)
