QDateTime dateTime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
    QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
 
    QString s="EntryGate-";
 
 
/////i cant have this in a string if im not wrong
 
////////what idea i need is how to have a string in system if not possible is there any way to send a file from device to pc as i have to bind that combo value in a string and then use in the system command

What to you mean by "device to pc".
Where is QComboBox in the code?

Is this what you want?

Code:

---

QComboBox box;
QString str = box.currentText();
 
QDateTime dateTime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
QString s="EntryGate-";
 
system ("/home/devkermit -is /mnt/jffs2/" + s + str + dateTimeString + ".xml");

Please post such questions in Newbie forum

Dear Santosh,


Thanks for the reply......Actually it helped me a lot and i dont think if i post in the newbie forum will get quick response so posted here.........Thanks in Advance........Any suggestion would be appreciable.......


Regards,

Quick response does not depend on forum type, it depends on number of user online and how many of them are interested in answering your question.

What I mean is, asking such basic / C++ related questions in Standard Qt forum may get some rude answers, frankly I was about to be rude, then I realized your user name, and your earlier posts.

Moving to Newbie. Next time please think whether a more appropriate title to your thread wouldn't have been "How to convert QString to const char*" rather than "Uploading of data using System". How you name your threads and how you state the problem has great influence on when you'll get help.

For invoking a local command I would probably use QString::toLocal8Bit() instead of toStdString()

However, in this case I would recommend to use QProcess instead of system.

Cheers,
Kevin
