    Default Re: Read a file containing key-value pair

    Hi Community,
    I need to read and parse a file containing key-value pairs (only 1 line):

    -t int_value -d string_value -t int_value -d string_value
    The number and order of -d or -t keys is arbitrary

    example:
    -t 12 -t 49 -d "option_x" -d "option_y"
    I don't know the number of pairs -t value or -d value.

    Any suggestion on the approach I can use?

    Thank you


    Added after 10 minutes:


    I tried this approach
    Qt Code:
    1. QFile parametersFile(parametersFilePath);
    2. if (parametersFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    3. {
    4. QTextStream stream(&parametersFile);
    5. QString line = stream.readLine();
    6. if (!line.isEmpty())
    7. {
    8. QStringList fields = line.split(' ');
    9. for (int i = 0; i < fields.count();)
    10. {
    11. if (fields[i] == '-t')
    12. {
    13. map.insert("EDIT_PARAMETER", fields[i+1]);
    14. }
    15. else if (fields[i] == '-d')
    16. {
    17. map.insert("COMBO_PARAMETER", fields[i+1]);
    18. }
    19.  
    20. i+=2;
    21. }
    22. }
    23.  
    24. return;
    25. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    But it's not working as expected

    Hi, what happens when you use your code? Normally a debugger can help you with stuff like this.

    I think to avoid strange effects you should use QString::SkipEmptyParts in line.split().
