Question

I gather a list of files into a QStringList from a Qt GUI. Each of these files is a .txt file, with a corresponding video file in same_folder_as_txt/videos/.

Is there an easy way to manipulate QString objects as file paths? For example, given C:/some/path/foo.txt , I want to retrieve C:/some/path/videos/foo.avi

Answer 1

You can convert them each to QDir, perform your modifications as a path, and then use absolutePath() to get the QString back.
