How to use QSettings to read INI file

[spirit]

try this example:

QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.beginGroup("players");
const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();
foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
	qDebug() << settings.value(childKey);
settings.endGroup();

QSettings settings("test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.beginGroup("players");
const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();
foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
	qDebug() << settings.value(childKey);
settings.endGroup();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

ok, i have ini file like:
[user]
0/name=lukasz
0/wins=3
0/loses=3
1/name=pawel
1/wins=1
1/loses=5
2/name=anna
2/wins=1
2/loses=5

and my code is:

settings = new QSettings("config.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
settings->beginGroup("user");
QStringList player_number = settings->childGroups(); // returns 0, 1, 2 - OK !
const QStringList childKeys = settings->childKeys(); // should return name, wins, ... right ?
foreach(const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        ui->choosePlayerBox->addItem(settings->value(childKey).toString());  // should add lukasz, 3, 3, pawel...., but it doesn`t work
 
    }
settings->endGroup();

settings = new QSettings("config.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
settings->beginGroup("user");
QStringList player_number = settings->childGroups(); // returns 0, 1, 2 - OK !
const QStringList childKeys = settings->childKeys(); // should return name, wins, ... right ?
foreach(const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        ui->choosePlayerBox->addItem(settings->value(childKey).toString());  // should add lukasz, 3, 3, pawel...., but it doesn`t work

    }
settings->endGroup();

Any ideas ?

you code will not work, because "0/name" it's a key, not a group.
I suggest you to review format on your ini-file or use xml instead.

Hi
my .ini file is

[System.Setting]
auto_check_update=false
auto_check_mode=weekly

& the code to read is
QString strKey("System.Setting/");
QSettings * settings = 0;
settings = new QSettings( file_path, QSettings::IniFormat );
QString strMode = settings->value( strKey + "auto_check_mode", "r").toString();

no problem with the code compiling & running. when i try to print strMode program is unexpectedly finising.. this is happening with QString, Date (Derived data types). but fine with basic data types like int, float, bool...
using printf to print the values. qDebug is not working in this project. what could be the problem?

Does your derived data type(Date) support QVariant ?
QSettings use QVariant to work.
