Hi everyone,

I`m using QT 4.8 on a ubuntu 12.04 machine.

I`m at the end of finishing a little software. But now I cant get through a very simple task. I`m a newbie but I try hard :)

I just want to following linux command to be executed:

rhash -rH --sha1 --md5 /hashfolder >hashlist

Getting the output from rhash into the hashlist file.


QProcess rhasher;

QString rhash = "rhash";

rhasher.startDetached(QString("rhash -rH --sha1 --md5 /hashfolder/));

QString results = rhasher.readAllStandardOutput();

QFile file("/home/user/hashliste");

file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text);

QTextStream out(&file);

out << results;

std::cout << "make MD5 und SHA1 hashes" << std::endl;

file.close();

rhasher.waitForFinished(-1);

I`m confusing myself right now. Hope you can help me out. Thanks


greetings Nand

startDetached is a static method, use QProcess::start() and connect to QProcess::readyReadStandardOutput signal to be notified when your process writes to stdout.

And allocate the process object on the heap.

ok thank you.

I try the best I can, dont know if I can do this.

Alternatively just use system() or popen() calls which are both blocking.

Open a terminal and type in "man popen" or search the internet.

FILE *fp;
int status;
char path[PATH_MAX];


fp = popen("rhash -rH --sha1 --md5 /home/user/ >hashlist", "r");
if (fp == NULL)
/* Handle error */;


while (fgets(path, PATH_MAX, fp) != NULL)
printf("%s", path);


status = pclose(fp);
if (status == -1) {


} else {


}

Maybe in a few days I`ve got it....

I would always use QProcess over low level C API.

If you really need it to be blocking use waitForFinished()

You are redirecting the output to a file so I don't know what you are expecting to receive on stdout of the process.
