UTF-7 encoding support

[#Dragon]

Hi, why UTF-7 encoding is not supported in Qt ? Is any simple way to encode string in UTF-7 ?

Cheers

I'm sorry, I should leave for more informations. I want to convert QString from ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) to UTF-7

I tried to use 'replace' but it was really stupid...


text.replace("+ACM-", "#");
text.replace("+ACQ-", "$");
text.replace("+ACU-", "%");
text.replace("+ACY-", "&");


Do somebody know how can we do it in less wild way ?

Thank You

When I run this simple test program


#include <QtCore>

int main()
{
qDebug() << "Supported QTextCodecs:" << QTextCodec::availableCodecs();
}

it prints "UTF-7" as one of the supported codecs.

Ok, thank you, I will check on Linux, maybe it is not supported on Windows but I think that should be the same.

On Windows check that you have built with ICU support.
Qt on Linux is always built with ICU support.
