Can not open file With QFile Class.

@Gaurav-Badgujar You should not use : in paths/file names especially on Windows

@jsulm

Hi
Try to use a full path and see it it works for you.
"c:/nas/files/gauravFolder:GauravData:$DATA"
else
"./nas/files/gauravFolder:GauravData:$DATA"
Its just path issue, i think.Also again, if on window, the ":" is FORBIDDEN
-
@jsulm used "/" as per above mention comment but still not getting any resolution.
@Gaurav-Badgujar What about
\\? What exact error do you get (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qiodevice.html#errorString)?
And why do you use characters like : and $ ? You should avoid such characters in paths and file names. Especially :
: has a special meaning on Windows. Try to save a file in any Windows program using file name with : You will see it does not work. -
Hi,
the file names with ":" hide data using ADS (alternate data streams). Strings like ":$DATA" have a special meaning. Normal Explorer and DIR command etc. do not see these files.So I doubt Qt can open them for reading/writing; native CreateFile should be able to do so.
On the other hand: make sure that the file "c:/nas/files/gauravFolder" already exist when you create the data stream file! Here is some code: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/105763

@Gaurav-Badgujar ...
There are several things wrong with the path but the :$DATA is the biggest hurdle. It is just not allowed on any M$ operating system. Fixing non-existant paths will be easy but if your file name has special meaning then that could be a problem. Now, if the :$DATA represents some bit of data to write into the file name than ok.
The article "Illegal Characters on Various Operating Systems" explains what is legal on most OSes.

Another option, given the name of the first folder is nas i can guess it's a network path, they normally start with 2 slashes, not just 1
@VRonin yes its network path..typo mistake. and it contains two slashes.
-
:$DATA its not a path we append this string with path.
