Get filename from QFile ?

Question

Greetings all,

eg:

QFile f("/home/umanga/Desktop/image.jpg");

How I get only the filename - "image.jpg"

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use a QFileInfo to strip out the path (if any):

QFileInfo fileInfo(f.fileName());
QString filename(fileInfo.fileName());

Answer 2

One approach, not necessarily the best: from a QFile, you can get the file specification with QFile::fileName():

QFile f("/home/umanga/Desktop/image.jpg");
QString str = f.fileName();

then you can just use the string features like QString::split:

QStringList parts = str.split("/");
QSTring lastBit = parts.at(parts.size()-1);
