Newline char combination in qstring

[MarkoSan]

Hi to all!

I've been trying to force newline into QString but old asm and c trick with "\n" simply does not work. Which char do I have to insert into unicode string to get newline?

[wysota]

\n is no trick and works fine with QString. You must have done something wrong. Can we see the code and the error message you get?

Wysotta, i found a mistake, I was using const char* for "\n" instead of QString("\n"). Now it works fine. But now I have another question. I get following output:

1 Coca Cola
2.5 2 5

1 Coca Cola
2.5 2 5

. I am now facing problems regarding currency formats and merchandize id formats ... The output should like this:

000001 Coca Cola
2,50 002 5,00

000001 Coca Cola
2,50 002 5,00

Now, in the first line, the number represents merchandize id (from mysql table), and the string represents merchandize name. In the second line, the first number represents the price of merchandize, the second number represents the quantity of merchandize and the third number represents subtotal (quanty*price/item). How do I reformat this string?

QString::arg() and QString::number() take parameters such as field length and fill character. If you want a comma instead of a dot, QLocale::toString() might be handy.

Well, here is my test code:

tmpOrder.iMerchandizeID=1;
    tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity=25;
    tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice=4.00;
    tmpOrder.rSubtotal=tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity*tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice;
    tmpOrder.strMerchandizeName=QString("Testni Artikel");
    tmpOrder.strDisplayString=QString::number(tmpOrder.iMerchandizeID)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString(tmpOrder.strMerchandizeName)+strMerchandizeDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice, 'f', iMerchandizePricePrecision)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.rSubtotal, 'f', iMerchandizePricePrecision);

tmpOrder.iMerchandizeID=1;
    tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity=25;
    tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice=4.00;
    tmpOrder.rSubtotal=tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity*tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice;
    tmpOrder.strMerchandizeName=QString("Testni Artikel");
    tmpOrder.strDisplayString=QString::number(tmpOrder.iMerchandizeID)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString(tmpOrder.strMerchandizeName)+strMerchandizeDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.rMerchandizePrice, 'f', iMerchandizePricePrecision)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.iMerchandizeQuantity)+strMerchandizeSpaceDelimiter+\
                              QString::number(tmpOrder.rSubtotal, 'f', iMerchandizePricePrecision);

Now the float values (price per unit and subtotal) are ok, but as you can see I do not use .arg function.

But you use QString::number() which is exactly the same.
