How to skip over or filter out "." and ".." from QDir?

[Guerrian]

I am using QDir to read all files in a directory:

QDir directory(dn);
QStringList files = directory.entryList();
foreach(QString fn, files)
    processFile(dn + '/' + fn);

However I get the files "." and "..". How do I skip over these or filter them out?

This seems like a messy way of doing it:

if (fn != ".." && fn != ".")
    processFile(dn + '/' + fn);

QDir dir;
dir.setFilter(QDir::NoDotAndDotDot);

If you go to google and type in QDir, the very first result points you to this really cool thing called on-line class documentation. ... Amazing! Give it a try.

@Guerrian said in How to skip over or filter out "." and ".." from QDir?:

if (fn != ".." && fn != ".")

It's the best solution. For me NoDotAndDotDot never works correctly (e.g directories having dot in name)

Because it only refers to . and .. not to files starting with .

@damianatorrpm This worked for me:

    QDir directory(dn);
    QStringList files = directory.entryList(QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::AllEntries);
    foreach(QString fn, files)
        slvFl(dn + '/' + fn);

@KaoN I think it needs to be:

QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::AllEntries
