How to create non-Unicode file name in Windows like GB18030 encoding

nagardd

Hi All,

I am trying to create GB18030 encoding file name in Windows 7 x64.
I am able to create file content with GB18030 encoding but unable to do the same with file name.

Could you please let me know how to do this?

My code:
@
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_34_clicked()
{
QString Afilename = "阿斯的发送gb18030.txt";
QString stringGB18030 = "阿斯的发送gb18030.txt";
QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("GB18030");
QByteArray encodedStringGB18030 = codec->fromUnicode(stringGB18030);
QString filename = "C:\TEMP_I18N\" + encodedStringGB18030;

if (QDir("C:\\TEMP_I18N").exists())
{
    QFile file&#40;filename&#41;;
    if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
    {
        QTextStream stream(&file);
        stream.setCodec("GB18030");
        QString Xstream = QString::fromUtf8("玀玁玂玃玅玆玈玊");
        stream << Xstream;
        ui->lineEdit_3->setText("File " + Afilename + " created at folder C:\\TEMP_I18N");
    }
}
else
{
    QDir().mkdir("C:\\TEMP_I18N");
    QFile file&#40;filename&#41;;
    if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
    {
        QTextStream stream(&file);
        stream.setCodec("GB18030");
        QString Xstream = QString::fromUtf8("玀玁玂玃玅玆玈玊");
        stream << Xstream;
        ui->lineEdit_3->setText("File " + Afilename + " created at folder C:\\TEMP_I18N");
    }
    }

}

Thanks,

File name encoding is dictated by the file system. In case of Windows and NTFS, all file names are UTF-16. As far as I am aware, you cannot change this.

See this for more info: "link":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename#Comparison_of_filename_limitations.

I have done it different way:

On Solaris with locale GB18030 I created file: "阿斯的发送gb18030.txt
Then copied this file to Windows
The name is displayed as: ÍßË¹ÀûµÄ¾¯·½gb18030.txt
Put this name into QT:

@QString encodedStringGB18030 = "ÍßË¹ÀûµÄ¾¯·½gb18030.txt";@

Generate the file in QT application
Copy this file to Solaris with GB18030

And the name is displayed correclty.

Is it possible to generate file name via QT?
If I done it as workaround maybe it is possible to do this via code?

Thanks,
Daniel
