xstrm.read();

[mickey]

Hi, Do anyone know why this instruction gets an runtime error and a console error like as
QFile::getch: Read operation not permitted ? Thanks

QString plainText = xstrm.read();

QString plainText = xstrm.read();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I need to do this below but I've got some problems....

QString plainText =  xstrm.readline();
//cout << "plainText " << plainText << endl;
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
tag1.appendChild(t1);

QString plainText =  xstrm.readline();
//cout << "plainText " << plainText << endl;
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
tag1.appendChild(t1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If I use .readline() seem works but the text inside TAG (in the file) appear null (string null). Why? However I need to read entire stream and not a line...

[jacek]

What is that "xstrm" variable?

[mickey]

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);

QFile::getch: Read operation not permitted ?
...
f.open(IO_WriteOnly);

Do you see where the problem is?

[mickey]

yes it was the error; but if I use .read() my app doesn't respond....
I coded this also:

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QString plainText =  xstrm.readLine(); // or .read()
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
//QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello"); //with this ok
tag1.appendChild(t1);

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QString plainText =  xstrm.readLine(); // or .read()
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
//QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello"); //with this ok
tag1.appendChild(t1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void Class::Write(QTextStream &xstrm) {
	xstrm << "hello\n";
}

void Class::Write(QTextStream &xstrm) {
	xstrm << "hello\n";
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after this in my file I found:

hello
a line of ascii code

hello
a line of ascii code

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

why? "hello" is right...with "QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText)" I'm trying to insert again "hello" in the file.....thanks

[jacek]

I guess that QTextStream just reads the file from the current position, try adding "f.reset()" before xstrm.readLine().

[mickey]

ok now it seems work with read() properly. but a strange thing happen in the file after write; the second part of file appear in a wrong way..

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //wrong

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //wrong

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //right

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //right

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Why this? thanks

[jacek]

Why this? thanks

Maybe because you create a text node (i.e. text that is between tags)?
Could you describe what are you trying to achieve?

[mickey]

yes it was the error; but if I use .read() my app doesn't respond....
I coded this also:

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN"); // SEE THIS!!!!
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QString plainText =  xstrm.readLine(); // or .read()
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
//QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello"); //with this ok
tag1.appendChild(t1);

QFile f(file);
f.open(IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN"); // SEE THIS!!!!
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QString plainText =  xstrm.readLine(); // or .read()
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(plainText);
//QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello"); //with this ok
tag1.appendChild(t1);

}

}

after this in my file I found:

like above I'm trying to create a file; in that I like put "hello" with class.XML (this work); then I like put the contentent of file (in this case "hello") inside two tag <Plain> </plain>;
that doesn't work (but it works using

QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello");

QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

other thing: using f.open(IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly); when I save file the text is append at the end...why? with only IO_WriteOnly the file is destroyed everytime (I want this)...thanks

then I need put the

QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN");
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(..............);

QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN");
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode(..............);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

content of strm between tag PLAIN. How this?

[jacek]

then I need put the content of strm between tag PLAIN. How this?

If xstrm contains text everything is OK --- < & > were just converted to entities, but if xstrm contains text and XML tags, then you can't use a text node to add it to the document.

Consider this fragment of XML document:

...
xxx
<tag>yyy</tag>
zzz
...

Here you have 4 nodes. Three text nodes ("xxx", "yyy" and "zzz") and element node "tag". You can't use a single node instead of 4 nodes.

Why do you need to read data from that file? Maybe you could create a DOM document and then just write it to a file?

[mickey]

ok I'll reformulate my problem:

QFile f(file);		
f.open(IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
QDomDocument doc(file); 
QDomElement root = doc.createElement (base_file); 
doc.appendChild (root);
QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN Property");		
root.appendChild(tag1);
scene.p.XMLWrite(QTextStream(&f));  
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("text"); 
QString xml = doc.toString();
xstrm << xml;

QFile f(file);		
f.open(IO_WriteOnly);
QTextStream xstrm(&f);
QDomDocument doc(file); 
QDomElement root = doc.createElement (base_file); 
doc.appendChild (root);
QDomElement tag1 = doc.createElement ("PLAIN Property");		
root.appendChild(tag1);
scene.p.XMLWrite(QTextStream(&f));  
Class.Write(QTextStream(&f));   
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("text"); 
QString xml = doc.toString();
xstrm << xml;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this produce a file:

hello
<!DOCTYPE level.xml>
<le>
      <PLAIN Property> HI </PLAIN Property>
</le>

hello
<!DOCTYPE level.xml>
<le>
      <PLAIN Property> HI </PLAIN Property>
</le>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

hello is produced by calling Class.Write (see previous post). I'd like to put hello (what the write() do) in the place of 'HI'; i don't know how to do this...thanks

[jacek]

hello is produced by calling Class.Write (see previous post). I'd like to put hello (what the write() do) in the place of 'HI'

OK, so first you must capture the output generated by Class.Write.

Something like:

QString text;
Class.Write( QTextStream( &text,  IO_WriteOnly ) );

QString text;
Class.Write( QTextStream( &text,  IO_WriteOnly ) );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

should be enough.

And then:

QDomElement tag1( doc.createElement( "PLAIN Property" ) );
...
QDomText t1( doc.createTextNode( text ) ); 
tag1.appendChild( t1 );

QDomElement tag1( doc.createElement( "PLAIN Property" ) );
...
QDomText t1( doc.createTextNode( text ) ); 
tag1.appendChild( t1 );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

PS. AFAIK "PLAIN Property" is not a valid name of an element in XML.

Hi, without repeat all code before with your solution I've got the prevoius problem inside the file:

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //wrong

<Light0 pos="4 1 4 1"  //wrong

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But if I use my prevoius code works (but i can put what Write() do only before tag PLAIN and not inside it....

..............................
Write(QTextStream(&f));  
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello");
.............

..............................
Write(QTextStream(&f));  
QDomText t1 = doc.createTextNode("hello");
.............

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

[jacek]

&lt;Light0 pos=&quot;4 1 4 1&quot; //wrong

Because you add this as text. That's how a text which contains <, > and " looks like in XML.

[mickey]

sorry, but is it possible avoid this??

[jacek]

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Does Class.Write() output XML or plain text?

What do you need QDomDocument for? Just to place the Class.Write() output between tags?

I'm a bit confused as you know. I need put output class between tag...
class write do this....insert text in xstrm...

void class::Write(QTextStream& xstrm) {
	xstrm << "dimX=\"" << dimX << "\"dim......

void class::Write(QTextStream& xstrm) {
	xstrm << "dimX=\"" << dimX << "\"dim......

I dont' undesrtand

[jacek]

I need put output class between tag...

Then maybe this will be enough?

QTextStream xstrm( &f );
...
xstrm << "<tag1>";
scene.p.XMLWrite( xstrm );  
xstrm << "</tag1>";
 
xstrm << "<tag2>";
Class.Write( xstrm );   
xstrm << "</tag2>";
...

QTextStream xstrm( &f );
...
xstrm << "<tag1>";
scene.p.XMLWrite( xstrm );  
xstrm << "</tag1>";

xstrm << "<tag2>";
Class.Write( xstrm );   
xstrm << "</tag2>";
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

[mickey]

I know this...I'm trying a way like this:

QDomElement tag1( doc.createElement( "PLAIN Property" ) );
QDomText t1( doc.createTextNode( text ) ); 
tag1.appendChild( t1 );

QDomElement tag1( doc.createElement( "PLAIN Property" ) );
QDomText t1( doc.createTextNode( text ) ); 
tag1.appendChild( t1 );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

using QDomElement to insert tag....
