How to open files with QFileDialog or something?

[HMCL]

I want to open files which are located in "HMCL". When I clicked "Start" button, the folder is successfully open. However, I open the files, there is no response. How can I read or write the files in qml?

You can write a c++ function that will open the selected file and read its content.

QString CompilerA::open(QString path)
{
    QFile file(path);

    if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
        return;
    QTextStream out(&file);
    out.setCodec("UTF-8");
    QString result = out.readAll();
    result = result.toUtf8();
    file.close();

    return resut;
}

As far as I know there is no direct way to read file content from QML, so some sort of C++ extension is needed, as indicated by @Dannick-Stark.

This StackOverflow answer describes an approach that exposes a "FileIO" object to QML from C++.
