Recursively iterate over all the files in a directory and its subdirectories in Qt

Question

I want to recursively scan a directory and all its sub-directories for files with a given extension - for example, all *.jpg files. How can you do that in Qt?

Answer 1

Another sample which indexes all files, using QFileInfo:

void ID3Tab::scanDir( QDir dir )
{ QFileInfoList fil = dir.entryInfoList( QStringList( "*.mp3" ),
                                         QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::NoSymLinks,
                                         QDir::Name | QDir::IgnoreCase );
  foreach ( QFileInfo fi, fil )
    indexFile( fi );

  QFileInfoList dil = dir.entryInfoList( QStringList( "*" ),
                                         QDir::AllDirs | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::NoSymLinks,
                                         QDir::Name | QDir::IgnoreCase );
  foreach ( QFileInfo di, dil )
    scanDir( QDir( di.absoluteFilePath() ) );
}
