How can I concatenate absolute path with relative path?

[Mery_lamb]

Hi,

Is there any function in QDir that allow us to concatenate 2 path (one is direct path and the other one is relative)

For example:

path 1 is "C:/home/user1/project/data"

path 2 is : "../data2/file.txt"

the result should be a String equal to "C:/home/user1/project/data2/file.txt"

I tried: QString finalPath = QDir("C:/home/user1/project/data").filePath("../data2/file.txt");
but it is not working .

please help me

C:/home/user1/project/data/../data2/file.txt
is same as 
C:/home/user1/project/data2/file.txt
So you can simply append one path at the end of the other one.

@jsulm Thank you I can use the result directly to parse the file later but if I want to show the result I want this one "C:/home/user1/project/data2/file.txt".

I thought there is a function like .join in python which allow us to concatenate 2 paths .

Thank you so much for your feedback it really helps me
