Platform independant way to copy a file?
Message 1 in thread
I need a way to copy a file from path A to path B in Qt. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Hi James,
I believe it was someone on this list that previousely suggested using
QUrlOperator which has a copy() method. I haven't actually used the method
myself (since we'd already rolled our own - D'oh!). but from the docs it
looks like it should work.
HTH,
-psj.

Here's my copy function. I haven't actully used it yet but I think it
should work and platform independent too.
bool HUFile::copy(const QString& sIn, const QString& sOut)
{
QFile fIn(sIn);
QFile fOut(sOut);
QByteArray buf(1024);
Q_LONG nIn;
bool bResult = true;
if (fIn.open(IO_ReadOnly))
{
if (fOut.open(IO_ReadWrite))
{
while ((nIn = fIn.readBlock(buf.data(), buf.size())) > 0)
{
if (fOut.writeBlock(buf, nIn) != nIn)
{
bResult = false;
}
}
fOut.close();
}
else
{
bResult = false;
}
fIn.close();
}
else
{
bResult = false;
}
return bResult;
}

This might not be what you had in mind. But couldn't you just open the file
read the contents and then save it to the new file name in your code. C
(fread, fwrite) and C++ (iostreams) provide platform independent ways of
doing both of these operations I think. Perhaps thats not the most
eloquent solution though.
