    Default Real time display of QProcess output in a textBrowser

    Hello,
    I am a newbie in qt development and i want to transfer the output of QProcess to a textBrowser in real time. I started by executing a simple echo command,but the output of the program is not getting displayed.
    What am i doing wrong????

    Qt Code:
    1. p.start("echo", QStringList() << "hye");
    2. p.waitForStarted();
    3. QByteArray byteArray = p.readAllStandardOutput();
    4. QStringList strLines = QString(byteArray).split("\n");
    5. QString line= p.readAllStandardOutput();
    6. if(p.state()==QProcess::NotRunning)
    7. ui->textBrowser->append("not running");
    8. ui->textBrowser->append(line);
    9. p.waitForFinished();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Default Re: Real time display of QProcess output in a textBrowser

    Try this code:
    Qt Code:
    1. QProcess *p = new QProcess( this );
    2.  
    3. if (p)
    4. {
    5. p->setEnvironment( QProcess::systemEnvironment() );
    6. p->setProcessChannelMode( QProcess::MergedChannels );
    7.  
    8. p->start( "cmd.exe", QStringList() << "echo" << "hye" );
    9. p->waitForStarted();
    10.  
    11. connect( p, SIGNAL(readyReadStandardOutput()), this, SLOT(ReadOut()) );
    12. connect( p, SIGNAL(readyReadStandardError()), this, SLOT(ReadErr()) );
    13. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    And in slots ReadOut() and ReadErr():
    Qt Code:
    1. QProcess *p = dynamic_cast<QProcess *>( sender() );
    2.  
    3. if (p)
    4. ui->textBrowser->append( p->readAllStandardOutput() ); // p->readAllStandardError()
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
