@jsulm said in why QProcess not show output of ls /dev/sd* command ?:

which ls

Observation: if which finds ls then there is no need to use a full path to it. And if it's not on your path which won't find it! :)

@JonB said in why QProcess not show output of ls /dev/sd* command ?:

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

as per my case what i need to write in above ?

[jsulm]

@Qt-embedded-developer Yes, get entries in /dev folder using QDir::entryInfoList and filter all entries starting with sd (you can pass file name filter directly to QDir::entryInfoList).

Maybe reading the answers would help - it was already given...

@Christian-Ehrlicher i have tried like below but i am getting empty list from fileinfolist

QString myPath="/dev";
        QDir dir;
        dir.setPath(myPath);
        QStringList filters;
        filters<<"sd";
        dir.setFilter( QDir::AllEntries | QDir::System);
        dir.setNameFilters(filters);
        dir.setSorting(QDir::Name );
        QFileInfoList list = dir.entryInfoList();

why my list is not giving file name what is expected ?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Because there is no /dev/sd in your directory. Please read the documentation...

No, RTFM!

filters<<"sd";

void QDir::setNameFilters(const QStringList &nameFilters)

Each name filter is a wildcard (globbing) filter that understands * and ? wildcards. See QRegularExpression::fromWildcard().
