QString tmp="file.txt";QFile file(tmp); How do I obtain REAL filename?( FiLe.TxT )

[wysota]

I think the easiest solution would be to retrieve the directory the file is in, open it with QDir and use QDir::entryList() to list files in this directory. They will have 'real' names so matching the proper one will be easy (for example using QString::toLower()).

i did:

QDir director("C:\\Documents and Settings\\");
QStringList list ( director.entryList(QDir::Files,QDir::Name) ) ;


list.indexOf( QRegExp( "file.txt" ,Qt::CaseInsensitive) ) //i get the id of the REAL fie



it works, but, is this an ugly/bad way ?

Yes, it's an ugly way, but I doubt there is a better one so you have to stick with it.
