Converting a QString to QDate

[Stanfillirenfro]

Hi!
I am struggling right now with the conversion of a string to a date, but I am not succeeding. Could someone help?

My string is in the following format:

Sa Feb 22 2014

.

After compiling, qDebug prints an empty QDate (

QDate("")

)

I have the following code:

QString strDate1, strDate2;
QDate strDate;
 
strDate1 = Sa Feb 22 2014;
strDate2 = QString::fromStdString(strDate1.toStdString());
strDate.fromString(strDate2, "dd mmm ww yyyy");

QString strDate1, strDate2;
QDate strDate;

strDate1 = Sa Feb 22 2014;
strDate2 = QString::fromStdString(strDate1.toStdString());
strDate.fromString(strDate2, "dd mmm ww yyyy");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Many thanks in advance

Line 4 of your code is missing quotes.

Line 5 is a needless two way conversion, strDate1 is already a QString

Line 6 calls a static method (fromString) like a member method. The call's return value is not used.
"dd" means a day number, "mmm" does not exist in the date context, "ww" does not exist in date formats.

Cheers,

This is a typical way to do it.

QString str = "Sat Feb 22 2014";
QDate strDate;
 
strDate = QDate::fromString(str, "ddd MMM dd yyyy");
 
qDebug() << strDate;

QString str = "Sat Feb 22 2014";
QDate strDate;

strDate = QDate::fromString(str, "ddd MMM dd yyyy");

qDebug() << strDate;
