Searching in QFile which has source of webpage

Gerof is right I think, I would use QTextStream too...

If you look at the given links ("QTextStream":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtextstream.html#details ) there is a description, how to read a file to a QString.

you can also read using QFile directly. From the docu:

@
QFile file("in.txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;

QTextStream in(&file);
while (!in.atEnd()) {
    QString line = in.readLine();
    process_line(line);
}

@

or

@
QFile file("in.txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;

 while (!file.atEnd()) {
     QByteArray line = file.readLine();
     process_line(line);
 }

@

or

@
QFile file("in.txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;

QTextStream in(&file);
QString str = in.readAll();

@

For more information on that, I propose a look at the Qt documentation (link in the top right corner, called DOC) :-)

What type does your data has? is it XML? is it plain text?

Can you tell me how to convert whole file into QTextStream?
I've done something like this (after closing file):

@QFile file("plik.xml");
if (file.open(QFile::ReadWrite)) {
QTextStream out(&plik);
out.readAll();
// out << "Result: " << qSetFieldWidth(10) << left << 3.14 << 2.7;
// writes "Result: 3.14 2.7 "
}
file.close();@

From documentation i know that it convert out to QString. Now how can i seek a phrase in there?

I downloaded page with:
@ file= new QFile("plik.xml", this);
file->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
http = new QHttp(this);
http->setHost("addressofpage.com");
http->get("/pathtopage.html", file);@
but i can look at it in text editor so... i think it is a plain text.

@
QFile file("in.txt");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
return;

QTextStream in(&file);
QString str = in.readAll();
@

Then use QString functions

look at the docu, it is really good

something with find/search/indexOf...

You can first convert QFile into QString, example:
@QFile file(plik);
QString item;
file.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
char buff[255];
while (!file.atEnd())
{
file.readLine(buff, sizeof(buff));
item.append(buff);
}@
and QString you can convert to QTextStream
@QTextStream text = new QTextStream(item,QIODevice::ReadOnly);@

or you can even in QString find. You have function "indexOF":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qstring.html#indexOf , who returns you position of looking word.

First read the file into a QString, change the QString and write the string back to the file.

Ok, it works :) I mean... compiling...
Now how can i search specific string in that QString (someting like item.seek("I/'m seeking this string");
Is there is something like this?
I found that:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html#compare-5
but it compare only lenght of two strings...

If you read all posts, you perhaps find the solution :-)

"QString::indexOf":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html#indexOf

If you want to read the complete file into a string readAll() is your friend:

@
QFile file("mytextfile.txt");
if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
qFatal() << "File cannot be opened";

QTextStream ts(file);
QString fileContent = ts.readAll();
file.close();
@

If you read strings from a file it's always better to use QTextStream, as it does the proper decoding (UTF-8 etc.) for you.
