Seperate Path and File from a QString or a QFile

[evergreen]

Hello,

As the title says, I want to get the file name out of a FilePath to change the name of the file before saving it.
As a matter of fact, my application has to be runable on all OS so it' s not really possible to play on splitting the QString.

I was surprised not to find a way to do it directly in the doc.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

You can do it with splitting the QString. Just get separator with QDir::separator().

[Thanatos.jsse]

you can use:
@// fileName that contains the full file path name and is a QString type
QFile file(fileName);
if (file.exist()) {
// Message
} else {
// your method
QString name = file.fileName(); // Return only a file name
} @

Best regards

You can instantiate a "QFileInfo":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qfileinfo.html with your file passed in constructor. Then you can use a lot of getting functions from QFileInfo.

That's right... other way to acces to file information.
