Encoding and locale problem

House15

Hello everyone.

I have some situation with reading .docx and .txt files. Sounds foolish? I think so too, but it's a real problem in my case, and i have not found nothing specific in google.

The main difficulty lies in the fact, what i can't read .docx files at all. Is there some solution?

Secondary problem is in encoding. When i read .txt files on english - all just perfect. But text on russian shows in wrong encoding, even then i set default encoding CP-1251. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

Here is a code:
@compare::compare()
{
exampleOldVersion = new QDir("C:/Users/House15/Desktop/exampleOldVersion");
exampleNewVersions = new QDir("C:/Users/House15/Desktop/exampleNewVersions");
exampleOfResults = new QDir("C:/Users/House15/Desktop/exampleOfResult");

ListOfOldFiles = exampleOldVersion->entryList(QDir::Files,QDir::NoSort);
ListOfNewFiles=exampleNewVersions->entryList(QDir::Files,QDir::NoSort);


stringInOldFile = new char[80];
stringInNewFile= new char[80];

oldVersion=new QFile&#40;exampleOldVersion->absolutePath(&#41;+"/"+ListOfOldFiles.first(&#41;);

QFile *newVersionOfOldFile;
for(int i=0; i<ListOfNewFiles.count();i++)
{
    newVersionOfOldFile = new QFile&#40;exampleNewVersions->absolutePath(&#41;+"/"+ListOfNewFiles.at(i&#41;);

    if(newVersionOfOldFile)
        newVersions.append(newVersionOfOldFile);
    else
    {
        ListOfNewFiles.removeAt(i);
        i--;
    }
    newVersionOfOldFile=NULL;
}


oldVersion->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);


QTextStream in(&(*oldVersion));
QString testString=in.device()->readAll();
in.device()->seek(0);
in>>stringInOldFile;
    qDebug()<<testString+" \n\n "+stringInOldFile;
oldVersion->close();

docx is a compressed file of several XML files. You may want to extract it first and then read file by file.

qDebug() supports only ANSI characters as I experienced. Try printing text in text edit widget (QTextEdit class).

You can also add
@CODECFORSRC = UTF-8@
in your project file.

Note: char also only supports ANSI characters. Consider replacing them with QString.

You meen for docx documents need QXml classes? Extracting text from xml is standart procedure, or i need write parser for this purpose?

Docx is a compressed file ( like rar, zip, tar etc.). It's probably zip, but you'll have to google a little.
When you'll extract it, you'll get a bunch of xml files. Then you can parse extracted xml files as usual.

Is there are some class or libs for zip/unzip files? In my eyes came across QuaZIP, but i not sure what it's right solution for static compiling project. Can you suggest anything?

Another problem. I've notice strange behavior of Ascii code. Then i use russian text, Ascii is always 63 (only '/r' displays like 13) on each character. I use QTextCodec("CP1251") - is it possible cause of this problem? Then i use english text - all displays normal.

I never tried to decompress or compress anything using Qt, so unfortunately I can not.
When you try with English text, you try using the same codec?

And, are Russian characters even in ascii table?
