Howto substring using QString

[pingal]

I'm used to std::string so doesn't really know much about QString class.

How can i substring on QString, I will give you my scenerio.

lets say i've a path i.e. path\to\file.jpg

In order to extract the filename from the above path, i usually substring using std::string::substr(..) like below:

std::string path {"path\\to\\file.jpg"};
std::string filename = path.substr(path.find_last_of("\\")+1);   // file.jpg

How would i do this in QString ?

By taking a look in the documentation: QString::mid(), QString::indexOf()

If it actually a path that you are manipulating then you should also look at QFileInfo and QDir::fromNativeSeparators.
It is cross-platform and you can avoid the escaped backslash nastiness.
