ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I am currently creating new folder using the QFileDialog without the use of the create new folder button. By typing in a string into the 'File Name:' input box.
then using system("mkdir " + result); to have a new directory created
if ( fd.exec() == QDialog::Accepted ) {
QString result = fd.getText(); ----------------------->> 'File Name:' input box
system("mkdir "+result);
(fd.getText() is wrong btw :\)
a new folder was suppose to appear but keep getting errors.
you're not going to actually tell us what the errors are? you didn't ewven tell us what language you're using, obvious as it may be. if you print the string your passing to system, it will probably be obvious.
I using Qt designer to create the QDialogbox and i using c++ for the coding.. Hmm, i not passing a string, I trying to create a new folder by entering a string which is the folder name..
The error i got was:
qdir.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':
qdir.cpp:349: no matching function for call to `QFileDialog::getText()'
Compiler errors should be easy to fix. Just do a look-up on the function getText() function. QFileDialog class does *not* have a member function called getText().
From the QT Manual for QFileDialog:
Code:
QString s = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(
"/home",
"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)",
this,
"save file dialog"
"Choose a filename to save under" );
