String replace content

pcoliver

Hi all

I am new to Qt. I have a question:

I'm trying to convert a string like this type path C: / Dir1/Dir2/Dir3
in a chain like this C: \ \ Dir1 \ \ dir2 \ \ dir3 as I can tell it to qprocess then that is the path from where I launch the executable

where path has to be of this type C: \ \ Dir1 \ \ dir2 \ \ dir3 and what I get is
C: / Dir1/Dir2/Dir3

processDes.setWorkingDirectory (path);

     Process.Start ("msiexec.exe", QStringList () <<"/ qf" <<"/ uninstall" <<"openofficeorg31.msi");

When I launch the process Uninstaller window opens but when I close.

Someone could help me with this?

Thank you.

Path handling is transparent in Qt. If you want it to work across platforms with different path separator always use "/" Unix style separator. Qt will internally convert the path according to target platform.
You can simply convert "" to "/" and pass the same to QProcess.

If you like to translate to native separators you can use "toNativeSeparators":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qdir.html#toNativeSeparators

If we know the scope you want to reach we can help you. The conversion what should be? a QString? A patch that Qt should manage? What ?

Yes, well done. They were not Qt related.

This was not the only one, so we will keep an eye on it.
