How do increment/decrement an String IP Address?

[premroxx]

my ip address is declared as : const QString &ip

How can i increment/decrement the ip addresses stored in this string. (for ex: ip=192.168.1.1, then increment is 192.168.1.2)?

Split the string by '.'. Convert the last to integer (toInt()), increment, convert it to a string (QString::number()) and join the previous splited strings together.

Ignoring network masks and other potential errors:


QString ip("192.168.1.1");

QHostAddress next(QHostAddress(ip).toIPv4Address() + 1);
qDebug() << next.toString();

Am i doing something wrong here?
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include "QDebug"
#include "QString"
#include "QtNetwork/qhostaddress.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QString ip("192.168.1.1");
QHostAddress next(QHostAddress(ip).toIPv4Address() + 1);
qDebug() << next.toString();
}

I am getting the following LINK errors
