problem in character encoding

[fulbay]

Hello,

I have a problem with Turkish cgaracters while writing in an XML file. Although I tried using some encoding functions, it did not work. Turkish characters I am trying to write in the file are "çÇğĞıİöÖşŞü� �". For example, I try writing "Görev", however, the text written is "Görev".

Could you please help me with this issue?

Please show the code that you wrote. Also, pay attention to the following points:
- When using string literals, avoid non-ASCII characters so that the behaviour of the program does not depend on the encoding of the .cpp file. Use escape sequences instead.
- When viewing the contents of the file in a text editor, make sure you open it using the same encoding in which it was written.

Hello,

The code I wrote is as the following:

QXmlStreamWriter *stream = new QXmlStreamWriter(file);
stream->setAutoFormatting(true);
stream->writeStartDocument();
stream->writeStartElement("Main");
stream->writeTextElement("Entry", entry);

entry is the variable entered through a QLineEdit widget. I tried setting encoding as the following:

QTextCodec *q;
q = q->codecForName("ISO-8859-9");
QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(q);

or calling the function QString::fromUtf8() and some more. However, the text written in the file is problematic. Moreover, I try to read the xml file to be able to write it on the QLineEdit widget, in the same way, the text is damaged.

Just the addition of the following code fixes the problem. I had made something wrong

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

That is strange. QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings() sets the encoding to use to convert C strings and QByteArrays to QStrings. It applies to "Main" and "Entry" in your code. If the entry variable is a QString obtained from QLineEdit::text(), then it should not be affected.
