[SOLVED] write edited qstringlist from qlistwidget to a file

mr_maddog

No,
i am trying to write the data from the qstringlist which isnt deleted to a file / qstring.

qxoz

In this case better use QListView instead QListWidget. Define loadlist not in on_radioButtonLF3_clicked but as MainWindow member.

mr_maddog

here for all who will have the same problem. This is my code

@
//Multiple selection inside the listwidget and delete selected items
ui->listWidget->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection);
foreach (QListWidgetItem* item, ui->listWidget->selectedItems())
delete item;

//qstringlist of the left items inside the listwidget
QStringList pickedItem;
QList<QListWidgetItem*> tmpList = ui->listWidget->findItems(QString("*"), Qt::MatchWrap | Qt::MatchWildcard);
for (int i = 0; i < tmpList.size(); ++i)
pickedItem.append(tmpList.at(i)->text());

//write to a file
QFile newloads("/fs1/PerlQt/QtCreator/test/newloads.inp");
newloads.open(QFile::WriteOnly|QFile::Truncate|QFile::Text);
QTextStream out(&newloads);
out<< pickedItem.join("\n");

newloads.close();

Just curios, is there any reason using QListWidget instead QListView? Because your solution of course will work but it little heavy and not efficient.

mr_maddog

The only reason is that my code is copy paste out of the internet and i have no IDEA what i am doing here :)
I am an absolute beginner and doing qt for 2 weeks.
Could you rewrite my code? This would be nice.

If this is not a just school task and you need realy learn Qt i advice you start from this book:
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 - By Jasmin Blanchette, Mark Summerfield
this book about Qt 4.1 but it is still best book for beginners.
and of course:
"http://qt-project.org/doc/":http://qt-project.org/doc/

if you have any questions feel free ask here :)

mr_maddog

Hi qxoz,
thanks for the reply. I dont have the money for buying a book. I will still trying to finish my project by past and copy. I learned in the past 6 months perl and now qt. my brain is FULL ;)

Could u give a hint for changing qwidgdetlist to qlistview.

Thanks

If you can't afford the book, you still have the examples and demos to go through in Qt's doc (Have look at the MVC part)

If just change listwidget with listview and not change the algorithm the code will look like this:
@MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
stringListModel = new QStringListModel(this);
ui->listView->setModel(stringListModel);
}@

@void MainWindow::on_radioButtonLF3_clicked()
{
// Loaddefinition
QFile loadfile("/na/share/LINUX/public/L.txt");
loadfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly|QIODevice::Text);
QTextStream in(&loadfile);
QString line = in.readAll();
QStringList loadlist = line.split(QRegExp("\n"), QString::SkipEmptyParts);
loadfile.close();
stringListModel->setStringList(loadlist);
}@

@void MainWindow::on_removeButton_clicked()
{
QModelIndex strIndex = ui->listView->selectionModel()->currentIndex();
if(!strIndex.isValid())return;
stringListModel->removeRow(strIndex.row());

//write to a file
QFile newloads("/fs1/PerlQt/QtCreator/test/newloads.inp");
newloads.open(QFile::WriteOnly|QFile::Truncate|QFile::Text);
QTextStream out(&newloads);
out<< stringListModel->stringList().join("\n");

newloads.close();

}@

Here is the very good Qt and C++ tutorials for beginners:

Hi and Thanks qxoz,

and this is now better and faster than with qstringlist?
Why? You rewrote just a few lines (i dont get it....).
Is the qlistview better implemented, works the code faster (because of what?)..

Hi mr_maddog!
sorry for the long absence :)
Using model/view gives to your code more flexibility, it is separation of data and view.
And in your case you not need build result string list,
@//qstringlist of the left items inside the listwidget
QStringList pickedItem;
QList<QListWidgetItem*> tmpList = ui->listWidget->findItems(QString("*"), Qt::MatchWrap | Qt::MatchWildcard);
for (int i = 0; i < tmpList.size(); ++i)
pickedItem.append(tmpList.at(i)->text());@
you just get it:
@stringListModel->stringList().join("\n");@

Oki doki, thanks
