how can I move the pointer in QFileStream to the end of the file?

[RuWex]

for example I have this file:
**
Hello
**
and anotheer file that I want to copy the file to the end of the first file:
**
world
**
so I want it to be:
**
Hello
world
**
and I open the files
and I did:

QFile file("Log_File.txt");
QTextStream stream( &file );

and now I want to move the pointer to the end of the file in order to copy the second file to his end.
how to do it?

@RuWex QIODevice:: Append and QIODevice::Text should also work, and those are included with QFile include

[J.Hilk]

@RuWex

QFile file("Log_File.txt");
file.open(QIODeviceBase::Append | QIODeviceBase::Text);
QTextStream stream( &file );

Then you should be opening the first file in append mode, and no "file seeking" by you is required.

file.open(QIODeviceBase::Append | QIODeviceBase::Text);

my program doesnt konw QIODeviceBase- do I have to add include?

@RuWex
Why not search the documentation for QIODeviceBase to find the answer? https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qiodevicebase.html, #include <QIODevice>, if #include <QFile> does not already do so.

I tried to add #include <QIODevice> but it doesnt work:(

@RuWex
So tell us what version of Qt you are using, we cannot guess? If it's Qt5 rather than Qt6 it would be QIODevice::... rather than QIODeviceBase::....
Alternatively did you try @J-Hilk's QIODevice::Append/Text without any extra #include?

[RuWex]

@JonB yes you right:)
I did QIODevice::Append and it is work well :-)
thanks!!
