HOW CAN I INPUT A QString IN THE CONSOLE

[ayanda83]

Hi everyone, How can I input a QString in the console? In short i've got a QString variable in my program which I want to input a string in. If it was an STL string I would have used the function getline() but I'm not sure which function to use with QString. please help.

You still can use getline with conjunction of std::string::c_str and pass this value to QString's ctor.

...
std::string str;
std::getline(std::cin, str);
QString qString(str.c_str());
qDebug() << qString;
...

...
std::string str;
std::getline(std::cin, str);
QString qString(str.c_str());
qDebug() << qString;
...

A whole line:

QTextStream s(stdin); 
QString value = s.readLine();

QTextStream s(stdin); 
QString value = s.readLine();
