QProcess::start(i) - i is a file with spaces

[islamaf]

Hello all,

I am trying to pass a .exe file containing spaces such as te st2.exe to QProcess::start().
However, the process doesn't actually open the file even though if the .exe file is without spaces such as test3.exe, it runs perfectly.

Example code:

QDir directory = QDir::currentPath();
QStringList list = directory.entryList(QStringList() << "*.exe" << "*.EXE", QDir::Files);
/* list contains: ("te st2.exe", "test3.exe") */
for(auto& i : list){
QProcess p;
p.start(i);
p.waitForFinished();
QString output = p.readAllStandardOutput();
}

Now, my question is how to run a file having a name which contains spaces?

All ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

@islamaf try

p.start(i, QStringList());
