reading a file

[xaqt]

Hi everyone;

I'm trying to read a .txt file with a simple window design. After i manage to read the .txt file i'll try to read .csv file.

Firstly is there a big difference between reading .txt files and .csv files. ?

and second, I've a textBrowser and a button just like this.

void read::on_readButton_clicked()
{
//?
}

void read::on_readButton_clicked()
{
//?
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

what should I write here ? Same way with simple c/c++ methods ?

csv file is also a text file. Use QFile::readAll() to read the contents of the file and QTextBrowser::setPlainText() to set it as the contents of the text browser.

thank for helpful post.

Now i can read .txt and .csv files(same as wysota said in the post). Now i need to split the comas but when it comes to add the values which i read from file to a list or an array i can not manage it.

QList<QString> list;I created a list
but how can i add the values from the file to the list ? After i add the values to the list i can split the values as i want. But i can not add the files to the list.

ui.textBrowser->setText(stream.readAll());

ui.textBrowser->setText(stream.readAll());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i writed the values to the textBrowser with this line.

maybe you can try:

ui.textBrowser->setText(stream.readAll());
QString allTheData = ui.TextBrowser.toPlainText()

ui.textBrowser->setText(stream.readAll());
QString allTheData = ui.TextBrowser.toPlainText()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and you'll have a big QString you can split with "indexOf".

By the way, you can use QStringList instead your list.

But, when I had to work with CSV I use a parser. Also, remember, most of the editors use comma, but Excel uses a ";" instead :S

QString::split() gives you a list of strings.

i did it thanks for the posts.

after i manage to add values to my list i'm trying to convert my values string to integer because compiler dont allow me to do arithmetical operations on them.

QString value = koma.at(i);

QString value = koma.at(i);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

what should i do after this line ?

Sorry for asking too many questions.

To convert from QString to integer: QString::toInt()

QString stringAux = "2";
intAux = stringAux.toInt();

QString stringAux = "2";
intAux = stringAux.toInt();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

just in case, to convert from integer to QString you have QString::number()
