Cannot get stdout from QProcess

[johnny_sparx]

I am having trouble to retrieve the console output from an external program. Below, I modified the program so that it is similar to what I have in my program - but with the external program changed to "dir /w".

QProcess System_Call(this);
QStringList Parameters;
 
Parameters<<"/w";
 
System_Call.start("dir",Parameters);
System_Call.waitForStarted();
QString X;
X = System_Call.readAll();
System_Call.waitForFinished();
Parameters.clear();

QProcess System_Call(this);
QStringList Parameters;

Parameters<<"/w";

System_Call.start("dir",Parameters);
System_Call.waitForStarted();
QString X;
X = System_Call.readAll();
System_Call.waitForFinished();
Parameters.clear();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I cannot seem to retrieve the output from this program... what am I doing wrong?
