Writing to file in Qt - qt

Question

I have a problem with writing to file, the problem is :
If I write the directory ":/Files/Scores.txt" it won't write anything but it reads from same directory.
But if I used this directory "D:/TicTacToe/TicTacToe/Scores.txt" it writes and reads but i will give the game to my instructor and the path won't be same and the file won't open, any ideas ?!
My write code:
void Write ( QString file)
{
QFile sfile(file);
if(!sfile.open(QFile::ReadOnly |QFile::Text))
{
return;
}
QTextStream in(&sfile);
QString lscores =sfile.readAll() ;
sfile.close();
if(!sfile.open(QFile::WriteOnly |QFile::Text))
{
return;
}
lscores=" "+Xscore+"\t"+" "+Oscore+"\n"+lscores;
QTextStream out(&sfile);
out <<lscores;
sfile.close();
}

Resource files (the ones you put in .qrc file) are read only, as MrEricSir mentioned. If you want to have some configuration/score file with your app you can for example use QApplication::applicationDirPath()
QString settingsFile = QApplication::applicationDirPath() % QLatin1Literal("/scores.txt");
This way you will have always absolute path to the file inside your app directory.
You can also use QDesktopServices::storageLocation with QDesktopServices::DataLocation parameter to obtain data location for your application.
