capture information to the command line qt4

[nikita]

hi,
i tried std::cout/std::cerr, no luck. so, is there a qt class that allows messages to be echoed to the command line at runtime. i'm trying to catch events that effect some decision chains i'm using. thanks.

You should use qDebug if it is for debugging. Simply include QtDebug and do something like this:

qDebug() << "test";

qDebug() << "test";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

.

If you are using the Windows version of Qt you might want to add a line to the pro-file of you project.

CONFIG += console

CONFIG += console

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Without this one, you will not see anything.

thanks again, i also found a workaround with cerr, but i needed qDebug for what i'm doing. take care.

cout/cerr works too. Just make sure there is something to output to (CONFIG+=console).
