Hi,
In Python one can write the expression: glob.glob("/usr/bin/*") and
get a list of such files. I am looking for something similar in Qt
(in C++).
I have look at QDir::entryList() and entryInfoList(), but it seems I
would have to extract the path first and provide it to QDir. I can't
use QDir('/').entryList({ "/usr/bin/*" }), as it returns nothing.
Look at QDirIterator.
e.g., QDirIterator iter(base_folder, QStringList() << "*.*",
QDir::Files, QDirIterator::Subdirectories);
But I am looking for a method where I don't have to separate the base
folder. I want to accept user input like "/usr/bin/*" and list those
files, but I haven't found a way to provide this path directly to Qt. It
looks like I need to split off the path first.
QDirIterator behaves the same as QDir, which I tried originally as I
wrote above. Here it is tested in Python:
>>> from PyQt5 import QtCore
>>> di=QtCore.QDirIterator("/", ["/usr/bin/*"])
>>>
>>> di.next()
''
On a related note, where is the equivalent of os.path.join()?
thanks
Hamish
