how to conver QString to const char*

[nish]

@high_flyer
i think your reply to me has been replied, so there is no point i start flaming like you. so i will not answer your full post. but here it goes

People, you should really stop with these "NEVER DO <something> OR THE WORLD WILL END" assertions.

agreed. if i would have given the full explanation before, then things should have not gone this far.

So relax.

ok me relaxing. But read the rules of the internet, "all caps" are considered as screaming/shouting/flaming, so looks like the 'wiseguy' need some relaxing.


EDIT:-
and yes i just typed the constData() coz i have a habbit of using this function, it dosent matter in our OP case wether we use data() or constData(),

so there is no point i start flaming like you.

I was not flaming - and if it was perceived as such, then I am sorry.

"all caps" are considered as screaming/shouting/flaming,

true, and I meant it this way too.
But please note the quotes "" - this is not something I am saying but others - I am quoting others - in this case you - I capitalized to make it a bit more extreme - but even with out capitalizing saying "never do ... !" is maybe not shouting but close.
Ergo - since it was not me shouting, I was relaxed.
And - a 'wiseguy' is not a wise guy - as in smart, rather it is meant more as a negative term - its a slang word for mafia members, trouble maker.

P.S
At times (and in recent times even more) I tend to react a bit harsh, the reason is, that there are a LOT of posts which are really stupid.
Sometimes, I misjudge a post, and give it cold shower when it was not quite called for.
But you will not find serious posts treated this way by me, and I have no problem saying sorry or that I made a mistake if I am proven wrong.

no problems .

lets forget it. If i reply then you will reply then i will ... we will trap ourselves in a circular list!

Ergo - since it was not me shouting, I was relaxed.

looks like we both are in spa.

And - a 'wiseguy' is not a wise guy - as in smart, rather it is meant more as a negative term - its a slang word for mafia members, trouble maker.

here in India we use this term for a wise guy only.

Based on your answer I figured as much.

Just to make it clear: being newbie != posting stupid.
There are newbie posts which are legitimate.
Many even.
But some just rather post and get spoon fed instead of first searching, investing some thought or simple search on google/docs - and at least try to get to the answer by them selves - resulting in a stupid post.
The forum is here for asking and discussing Qt related issues, newbies SHOULD post and ask.
But when you post show that you have invested at least some effort in finding the solution. (I don't mean you, but as a figure of peach).
