Relative path to absolute path

Gianluca86

Hi everyone,
I need to turn a relative path to an absolute path.
I know how to do the opposite:

QDir TestDir("/Home/User/TestDir");
QString strRelative = TestDir.relativeFilePath("/Home/User/AnotherDir");

So strRelative is "../AnotherDir".
Is there a way to convert the relative file (../AnotherDir) to get to the absolute (/Home/User/AnotherDir)?

Thanks

QFileInfo("../AnotherDir").canonicalPath()

It doesn't work. That gives me only " . "
I found my solution:

QDir TestDir("/Home/User/TestDir");
QString AbsolutePath = TestDir.cleanPath(TestDir.absoluteFilePath("../AnotherDir"));

I don't know if it's the right way, but it works.
Thanks anyway for the Answer VRonin.
