Open file from Qtext browser

[mecrazycoder]

I wrote a code to open file in gedit by clicking a link which is displayed in QTextBrowser. But file is not getting open in gedit instead it is displaying QTextBrowser itself. Here is my code

void MainWindow::openTextEdit()
{
    QTextBrowser *p = new QTextBrowser();
    p->show();
 
    p->append("<a href = \"/home/winbros/Test.cpp\"> Link </a>");
        p->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
}

void MainWindow::openTextEdit()
{
    QTextBrowser *p = new QTextBrowser();
    p->show();

    p->append("<a href = \"/home/winbros/Test.cpp\"> Link </a>");
        p->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

. Tanx in advance

And where in the code you tell that you want to open it in gedit? Fetch the signal when the link is clicked and open gedit with a QProcess or so.

Sorry I dnt know about QProcess. Can you please give me a pseudocode for it. What if I want to open all formats like doc,xls,ods etc.

In the manual you'll find a good explanation: QProcess, or have a look at QDesktopServices::openUrl ().

Could you please let me know how to keep track which link as been linked by the users. Further I looked into anchorclicked by I dnt how to use it in this context. P.S. I am using QT creator
