QList err : expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token

Hi all
Please for support and help
Thanks in advance!

Code:

---

my list in .h file
 
QList < FilmDoc > * pDocList;
 
void FilmApp::openDocumentFile (const char *file)
{
  statusBar ()->message (tr ("Opening file..."));
 
  QList <FilmDoc> doc = *pDocList;
 
  // if this might help function has to check if file is already opened
  // and if yes then setFocus to opened view
  for ( int i = 0; i < doc.size (); ++i ) {
     if ( doc.contains ( doc& ) == file ){// this line generate err
 
        FilmView * view = doc->firstView ();
        view->setFocus ();
        return;
     }
  }
...
}

---

doc.contains ( doc& ) makes no sense.
you probably want:

Code:

---

if(doc.at(i) == file){
...
}

---

thx but this code is generating msg;

"error: no match for ‘operator==’ in ‘doc.QList<T>::at [with T = FilmDoc](i) == file’
candidates are: bool operator==(QBool, bool)
...
and much more of this
"

it means that FilmDoc has no '==' operator.
You will have to compare some property of FilmDoc to make sure you have the one you need.
If there is no such property, you will have to implement the '==' operator.
But you probably can get away with storing pointers, which you can compare, and they are unique per item.
QList<FilmDoc *> myList;

Code:

---

if ( doc.contains ( doc& ) == file ){// this line generate err

---

This line makes no sense, as someone else pointed out. Even if you got the syntax right, it still makes no sense.

Assuming what you want is

Code:

---

if( doc.at(i) == file )

---

then what that line says is to compare a "FilmDoc" object (that's what is getting retrieved from the QList using the at() method) to a char * string. If your FilmDoc class doesn't have a

Code:

---

bool operator==( const char * ) const;

---

method, then this is what is generating your compile error.

You probably want code that looks something like this:

Code:

---

void FilmApp::openDocumentFile (const char *file)
{
  statusBar ()->message (tr ("Opening file..."));
 
  QList <FilmDoc> doc = *pDocList;
 
  // if this might help function has to check if file is already opened
  // and if yes then setFocus to opened view
  for ( int i = 0; i < doc.size (); ++i )  {
     const FileDoc & fileDoc = doc.at( i );
     if (fileDoc.name() == file ) {
        // But now this line will generate an error, because QList<T> doesn't have a "firstView()" method.
        // You probably mean: FilmView * view = fileDoc.firstView() instead
        FilmView * view = doc->firstView ();
        view->setFocus ();
        return;
     }
  }
...
}

Added after 7 minutes:

Sorry, I meant "FilmDoc", not "FileDoc" in line 10. Got confused comparing films and files.
