QStringList to QTextStream

[Jonathan Maen]

Hello guys,

I've been having problems exporting source to a QTextStream using a QStringList.

This is my code trying to export;

Something
    Something Two

Something
    Something Two

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And i've got;

S   O   M   E   T    H   I   N   G .... etc...

S   O   M   E   T    H   I   N   G .... etc...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This is my code;

for (int j = 0; j < TalkList[i].Script_t.size(); j++)
                        {
                            luaTxt << QString("\t\t%1").arg(TalkList[i].Script_t.at(j).toLocal8Bit().constData());
                            //luaTxt << TalkList[i].Script_t.value();
                        }

for (int j = 0; j < TalkList[i].Script_t.size(); j++)
                        {
                            luaTxt << QString("\t\t%1").arg(TalkList[i].Script_t.at(j).toLocal8Bit().constData());
                            //luaTxt << TalkList[i].Script_t.value();
                        }

Script_t is a QStringList
I'm trying to parse the lines one by one to the textstream with 2 initial tabs (\t\t) but result is strange.

Please help me it's 6:53 and I've 2 hours trying to solve it

What is the type of TalkList.Script_t?

[Jonathan Maen]

I've said in the post it; Script_t is a QStringList

[wysota]

What happens if you do this?

luaTxt << QString("\t\t%1").arg(TalkList[i].Script_t.at(j));

luaTxt << QString("\t\t%1").arg(TalkList[i].Script_t.at(j));

I get the same, each characterin the file is separated with the 2 tabs which shouldn't be happening.

I'm trying to add all of the lines with 2 tabs in the very beginning, but seems i've been not allowed to do this.

[wysota]

ok, what does this print?

qDebug() << TalkList[i].Script_t;

qDebug() << TalkList[i].Script_t;

Apparently your stringlist is incorrect. How did you create it?

[Jonathan Maen]

item.Script_t = ui->textEdit->toPlainText();

I've tried at(i) and still same results.

[wysota]

toPlainText() returns QString and not QStringList. So is it QString or QStringList? Is the code you posted your actual code or "sort of" your code?

[Jonathan Maen]

It is my code.

[wysota]

So is it QString or QStringList? If it's QStringList then the code shouldn't compile.

[Jonathan Maen]

Script_t is QStringList and it compiles on my VS2010.

[MrShahi]

Wysota is right , toPlainText() returns QString and not QStringList. So access your each value ,split that string into a stringlist..

[wysota]

Script_t is QStringList and it compiles on my VS2010.

Please check that as the application behaves as if it were not a string list.

[Jonathan Maen]

So It's been a few days since I've got this problem, and since I'm just 17 years old, and just 2 weeks with C++ and Qt, I'm just learning.

What's the best way to parse each line of QTextEdit into a QStringList, I really need this in order to add 2 tabs to the beginning of every line of the file.

[wysota]

The most basic approach I can think of is:

QStringList lines = textEdit->toPlainText().split("\n");

QStringList lines = textEdit->toPlainText().split("\n");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

However that's probably not the best possible way. It would be much better (albeit more complicated) to use QTextDocument API.
