To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this is the code im using

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
    settings.beginGroup("SYS_1");// How to change this to read 'n' number of groups ??
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();
 
    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;
 
 
    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
    settings.beginGroup("SYS_1");// How to change this to read 'n' number of groups ??
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();

    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;


    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();

You can read all group using QSettings::childGroups()
for example

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
Q_FOREACH (QString group, settings.childGroups()) {
    settings.beginGroup(group);
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();
 
    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;
 
    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();
}

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
Q_FOREACH (QString group, settings.childGroups()) {
    settings.beginGroup(group);
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();

    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;

    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();
}

or, if you read ONLY "sys_*" groups

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
Q_FOREACH (QString group, settings.childGroups()) {
    if (!group.startsWith("sys_"))
        continue;
 
    settings.beginGroup(group);
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();
 
    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;
 
    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();
}

QSettings settings(QDir::currentPath() + "/test.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
Q_FOREACH (QString group, settings.childGroups()) {
    if (!group.startsWith("sys_"))
        continue;

    settings.beginGroup(group);
    const QStringList childKeys = settings.childKeys();

    QStringList Keys;
    QStringList values;

    foreach (const QString &childKey, childKeys)
    {
        Keys << childKey;
        values << settings.value(childKey).toString();
    }
    settings.endGroup();
}

Using setValue

QSettings settings (...);
 
settings.addGroup("[sys_4]");
settings.setValue("val1", 10);
settings.setValue("val2", 20);
settings.setValue("val3", 30);
settings.endGroup();

QSettings settings (...);

settings.addGroup("[sys_4]");
settings.setValue("val1", 10);
settings.setValue("val2", 20);
settings.setValue("val3", 30);
settings.endGroup();
