    Did you read the documentation of QFile::Copy() for yourself?

    Note that if a file with the name newName already exists, copy() returns false (i.e. QFile will not overwrite it).

    So, does the destination file already exist? Does the source file also exist?

      Hi,

      @suslucoder said in Copying the file content:

      QFile::copy("C:/Users/ilknu/Documents/MyThread/deneme.txt","C:/Users/ilknu/Documents/MyThread/new.txt" );
      qDebug() << QFile::copy("C:/Users/user/Documents/MyThread/deneme.txt", "C:/Users/user/Documents/MyThread/new.txt");

      You do not have the same paths in the qDebug and the previous line.
      You do realise that you are copying it twice ?

        Check if it exists:

        qDebug() << "Source exists?" << QFile::exists("C:/Users/ilknu/Documents/MyThread/deneme.txt");
        qDebug() << "Destination exists?" << QFile::exists("C:/Users/ilknu/Documents/MyThread/new.txt");
        

        You need to check destination because:

        If a file with the name newName already exists, copy() returns false (i.e., QFile will not overwrite it).

          @SGaist , @sierdzio , @J-Hilk
          If QFile::copy() returns false, I don't see anywhere the user can obtain any kind of error message/reason for the failure. Does Qt not supply this by any means?

              @suslucoder said in Copying the file content:

              They exists.

              And? We have all said QFile::copy() says:

              Note that if a file with the name newName already exists, copy() returns false (i.e. QFile will not overwrite it).

              So you (not we) need to do something about that.

              Also, as @SGaist has pointed out, you don't even have the same paths on your two QFile::copy() calls.

                Then the cause is clear: destination exists, so copy() will not overwrite it. You need to remove the destination file first, before calling copy().

                  Even i delete the destination file, for returning true by creating new destination, it returns false.

                    @suslucoder Did you check what @SGaist said? Do NOT call copy twice! Call it once like before but put qDebug() in front of it...
