how to get the list of files without their extensions in a specified directory in Qt

[sliverTwist]

i want to get all the files that are loacated in a specified directory but without their extensions at the end
i did this :

QDir myDir(mConfigDirectory);
 
         filters << "*.ini";
         myDir.setNameFilters(filters);
     list = myDir.entryList ();
    qDebug()<<list;

QDir myDir(mConfigDirectory);

         filters << "*.ini";
         myDir.setNameFilters(filters);
     list = myDir.entryList ();
    qDebug()<<list;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but i want to separate the name from the extension and get only names

[ChrisW67]

So use the functions in QString to remove the extension for each file name in the list

Read about QFileInfo::completeBaseName

Read about QFileInfo::completeBaseName

the problem that this methode gives you characters after a suffix not before it !

use the truncate() method of QString

QString fileName("myFile.new.txt");
qDebug() << fileName;                                // myFile.new.txt
fileName.truncate(fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
qDebug() << fileName;                                // myFile.new

QString fileName("myFile.new.txt");
qDebug() << fileName;                                // myFile.new.txt
fileName.truncate(fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
qDebug() << fileName;                                // myFile.new

Maybe that could help me but still need to truncate from qstringlist !

QFileInfo::completeBaseName() should have worked, but you can also try QFileInfo::baseName()
Get the result list as QFileInfoList using QDir::entryInfoList() instead of entryList() and then build you result list from that or use the entry info list for processing and retrieve the base names right there.

Are You sure ? This from doc : The complete base name consists of all characters in the file up to (but not including) the last '.' character. and example :

QFileInfo fi("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
 QString base = fi.completeBaseName();  // base = "archive.tar"

QFileInfo fi("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
 QString base = fi.completeBaseName();  // base = "archive.tar"
