    thank you:)
    but now I have a problem,
    because,
    I wanted that not all of the numbers appear, for example just numbers more than 1000 and the other more than 2000...
    so I did many many if and paste every time to the debbuger, but now I want it to appear in messageBox once...
    do you have any idea how to solve it?

      I don't think anyone can understand what you are asking. If you need an if then write one. If you want a function to not print certain numbers so that you can re-use it, write one.

        I did this function : (you see all the if?) I did what you said its work well! but |I want to paste like I paste in the debugger

        
        bool PrintTimeRemainig(int second)
        {
            int days, hours, minutes;
            minutes=60;

            days= hours*24;
            int remainingDays=0, remainingHours=0, remainingMinute=0;
            if(second>days)
            {
                remainingDays= second/days;
                second= second%days;
                qDebug()<<"Remaing days:"<< remainingDays<<endl;
        
            }
            if (second>hours)
            {
                remainingHours= second/hours;

            QString text= QString("Estimated time to complete the test %1 days, %2 hours, %3 minutes, %4 seconds").arg(remainingDays).arg(remainingHours).arg(remainingMinute).arg(second);
        
            QMessageBox msgBox;

          Sorry, no idea what this means. You do not "paste in the debugger", the debugger is for debugging not for editing. And copy-paste works anywhere.

              No because as I said I have no idea what you are asking.

              if I dont want to paste on the messageBox just what that standing on some condition?

              Nor do I know what this means.

              I will leave you to see if anyone else answers.

                Sorry, I'll try to explain myself more clearly, I want to send a message to the user in the messageBox, but I don't want all the %X to be displayed, but only those that meet a certain condition. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

                  Instead of your current

                  QString text= QString("Estimated time to complete the test %1 days, %2 hours, %3 minutes, %4 seconds").arg(remainingDays).arg(remainingHours).arg(remainingMinute).arg(second);

                  Instead of this fixed string with its %...s and matching arg()s, create a different string with arguments according to your if condition. Or build it up one bit at a time.

                  Maybe you have in mind something like this:

                  QString text= QString("Estimated time to complete the test: ");
                  if (remainingDays > 0)
                    text.append(QString("%1 days, ").arg(remainingDays));
                  if (remainingHours > 0)
                    text.append(QString("%1 hours, ").arg(remainingHours));
                  // and so on

                        I don't follow?! I don't think you're pointing out the tr(), I don't know what your %n is about, and OP wants the Estimated time .... at the start unconditionally....
                        I think you're trying a piece of humor that is too droll/subtle for me to grasp?

                          No, it's the correct way to translate a string for singular/plural - we discuessed this some days ago already.

                            @Christian-Ehrlicher
                            Ohhhhhhhh.... Well I'm certainly not writing this for Polish/Russian!
                            My look up of QString::arg() did not show any %n?
                            And if we are going to be that fussy, will %n day(s) come out as 1 day [sic.] if n == 1??

                            Oh I see, it's in that link.

                            OK, @Christian-Ehrlicher, how about this then: I want the count in the message to be on sheep. yes, that's right, how many sheep something takes. How do I do that cross-language then?

                            %n sheep(s) --- wrong for English in plural
                            %n sheep --- wrong for French etc. in plural
                            

                            ? ;-)

                              Ohhhhhhhh.... Well I'm certainly not writing this for Polish/Russian!
                              My look up of QString::arg() did not show any %n?
                              And if we are going to be that fussy, will %n day(s) come out as 1 day [sic.] if n == 1??

                              Oh I see, it's in that link.

                              OK, @Christian-Ehrlicher, how about this then: I want the count in the message to be on sheep. yes, that's right, how many sheep something takes. How do I do that cross-language then?

                              %n sheep(s) --- wrong for English in plural
                              %n sheep --- wrong for French etc. in plural
                              

                              ? ;-)

                              @JonB said in How to concatenate strings+ int in messageBox qt c++?:

                              %n sheep(s) --- wrong for English in plural
                              %n sheep --- wrong for French etc. in plural

                              ? ;-)

                              You have to enter two translations in linugist then (or more for other languages). But there is only one tr() call in your code.
