How do I get a variable t display in a text edit window?

[quote author="Lukas Geyer" date="1340054027"]Don't worry, we all started learning Qt somewhen.
The first stop should always be the "documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qfile.html#details, which usually incorporates a set of examples.
If they are not sufficient, dig through the forums or the "FAQ":http://qt-project.org/faq - most probably someone else has already asked what you are looking for. If not, feel free to just come back right here and ask.[/quote]
OK... I am lost here ...
How do I open a file in Qt for reading and how do I get it to read a line?
I am reading the docs on QTextStream but I am not getting it.Thanks!

OK ...
I am starting (or at least trying) to do things the Qt way!
It is a lot of fun learning Qt with c++!!Now onto my issue...
I can read the lines in the file and display them, but I broke the word count.
Can some one help me understand how to count the number of words in a line the Qt way?Here i my code:
@
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<QtGui>
#include<QString>
#include<QTextEdit>
#include <QTextStream>
#include <QFile>
#include "bible3.h"
#include "ui_bible3.h"using namespace std;
bible3::bible3(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::bible3)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
connect (ui->pushButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(on_textEdit_textChanged()));}
bible3::~bible3()
{
delete ui;
}void bible3::on_textEdit_textChanged()
{}
void bible3::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
int numLines = 0;
int numWords = 0;
QString text;QFile file("example.csv"); if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) return; QTextStream in(&file); while (!in.atEnd()) { QString line = in.readLine(); ++numLines; ui ->textEdit->append(line); ui -> textEdit ->append(text); for(int i=0; i < text.size(); i++) { if(text[i] == ' ' || text[i] == '.' || text[i] == ',' || text[i] == '!' || text[i] == '?' || text[i] == ';') { ++numWords; if (numWords > 8) { ui ->textEdit->append(QString::number(numWords+12)); } else { ui ->textEdit->append(QString::number(numWords+10)); } } } }}
@Thanks!!

Well -- I have it working -- sort of ....
What I need to do is to get the word count to display after it prints each line to the text window. What my program is doing at this moment is displaying all the lines in the file and then printing the count. I know it i a c++ thing at this point and I m a newbie at c++ and Qt. Any help at this point is greatly appreciated. By the way -- I got the lines to print and the word count by using a in.ReadAll() function.
my code is listed below:
@
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<QtGui>
#include<QString>
#include<QTextEdit>
#include <QTextStream>
#include <QFile>
#include "bible3.h"
#include "ui_bible3.h"using namespace std;
bible3::bible3(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::bible3)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
connect (ui->pushButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(on_textEdit_textChanged()));}
bible3::~bible3()
{
delete ui;
}void bible3::on_textEdit_textChanged()
{}
void bible3::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
int numLines = 0;
int numWords = 0;
QString text;QFile file("example.csv"); if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) return; QTextStream in(&file); while (!in.atEnd()) { QString text = in.readAll(); //QString line = in.readLine(); //QString text = in.readLine(); ++numLines; ui ->textEdit->append(text); //ui -> textEdit->append("\n"); for(int i=0; i < text.size(); i++) { if(text[i] == ' ' || text[i] == '.' || text[i] == ',' || text[i] == '!' || text[i] == '?' || text[i] == ';') { ++numWords; cout << numWords << " " << endl; if (numWords > 8) { ui ->textEdit->append(QString::number(numWords+12)); } else { ui ->textEdit->append(QString::number(numWords+10)); } } } }}
@thanks!!

If you want to analyze the file line by line you should stick to readLine(), as readAll() reads the whole file.
Your word counting code works in general, but be aware that it will treat consecutive seperators as words (eg. <code>word1,,,,word2</code>). It can be simplified using QString::split() with a regular expression, and consecutive seperators can be filtered out by removing empty strings from the list.
@
QTextStream in(&file);
while (!in.atEnd())
{
// read line from file
QString line = in.readLine();// split the line into single words at .,!?; using a regular expression into a list QStringList words = line.split(QRegExp("[ \\.,!\\?;]")); // remove empty entries from list, which have be produced by consecutive seperators words.remove(""); // count the number of remaining entries in the list int numWords = words.count(); ...}
@
If you are aiming for a robust all-purpose CSV file parser be aware that there is much more than this (quotes, nested seperators, ...) and you should consider using one of the already existing CSV parsers. -

Thank you so much. My code is taking shape in a Qt fashion. The only thing is that the word count puts in a carriage return after each count. How do I get it to all stay on one line?

append() adds a new paragraph to the end of the text edit. So you either pass the entire text you want to be added (<code>ui->textEdit->append(line + QString::number(numWords))</code>) or you use insertPlainText(), which does what one might expect from append(), add text at the current cursor position.

insertPlainText works perfect for my application and it is coming out the way that I need it to!!
Thanks so much for your help and guidance!!

Code is working well now ...
I am branching out to put in a menu bar and make a combo box for my program that can pick which *.csv file to read! So far so good!I could not have done this effort with out you guys!
Thanks!
