QIODevice and QTextCodec?

[whitefurrows]

Hi,

i read files like this,

string entire;
	char buf[1024];
	while (device->readLine(buf, sizeof(buf)) && !device->atEnd()) { //QIODevice = device
		entire += buf;
		//...
	}
	size_t length = entire.length();
 
	for (size_t i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
		char c = entire[i];
		//...
		s.append(c);
	}

string entire;
	char buf[1024];
	while (device->readLine(buf, sizeof(buf)) && !device->atEnd()) { //QIODevice = device
		entire += buf;
		//...
	}
	size_t length = entire.length();

	for (size_t i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
		char c = entire[i];
		//...
		s.append(c);
	}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but my QSting ("s") looks dirty. The problem is the file can be coded in utf8, iso 8859-15 and a lot more.

How can i read the file with the right codec, if the user choose the codec before?

I have try QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings( QTextCodec::codecForName( codec ) ) but i hink thats not right. Can you help me pleas?
