[Solved] Directory path with space

[MohammadReza]

Hello friends.

Maybe you think this question is solved more and more before, but I have another problem.
For example the directory path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\sth".
I don`t set it directly! I get it from registry. So, the directory path maybe different in another systems.
How can I change the directory path to a valid one dynamically?

Thanks a lot.
Ya Ali.

Searching a lot and finding nothing major!

But I wrote my own codes.
@
QList<QString> lst = installedPath.split("\");
for(int i=0;i<lst.size(); i++)
{
if(lst.at(i).indexOf(" ") != -1)
{
validLocation += """;
validLocation += lst.at(i);
validLocation += """;
validLocation += "\\";
}
else
{
validLocation += lst.at(i);
if(i != lst.size()-1)
validLocation += "\\";
}
}

Hi,

There's something not really clear there, what do you mean by set it directly ? How do you retrieve that path in the first place ?

Hi dear SGaist,
Thanks for your response.

I mean define a QString and give "C:\Program Files (x86)\sth” directly to it:
QSrting location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\sth”.
My project is not like the above because I set the value of location from windows registry.

How are you accessing the registry and what is the exact string you are getting ?

[MohammadReza]

Here is the code:

@
QSettings settings("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wireshark", QSettings::NativeFormat);
QString installedPath = settings.value("InstallLocation").toString();
@

The result is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireshark

You can also use QDir::fromNativeSeparators
