I'm just wondering it it's possible to use a function to check any file that starts with a defined name, like in linux. For example
@
if (QFile("MY FILE NUMBER*").exists()) {
//CODE
}
@By this I want to check if there are any files that start whit the name "MY FILE NUMBRER", since my program could create: "MY FILE NUMBER 1" or "MY FILE NUMBER 2" or even "MY FILE NUMBER 3" and in any of those cases I want my < if > function, to return true.
I don't know if you get me, since I'm not a natve English speaker, so please, if you can't understand me, just let me know.

You should probably use "QDir::entryList()":http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/qdir.html#entryList for that. It understands * and ? wildcards.
(Nothing wrong with your English b.t.w.)
