[Moved] CSV File to XML File

[Indrajeet]

Hi All

Is there any way by which i can convert CSV file to XML file.

or Can i export contents of QTableWidget to XML File

Nope, you should write your own custom converter.

Don't fear. Writing XML with Qt is very simple.
The documentation of QDomDocument contains template code for you.

To read content of a CSV-File you could split the content by using QRegExp. Use ; as splitter.

No, don' t do that. What happens if the contents between " happens to contain a semicolon? Then you are in big trouble. Use a decent CSV parser instead, it is not as trivial as just splitting lines on a separator.

There is no need to write a CSV parser. There are millions available.
A Qt CSV parser:

I'm using boost::spirit for text-parsing. Very fast!

[DenisKormalev]

Hm, Spirit is overhead for csv parsing I think.

I moved this thread to the brainstorm forum, as it's only marginally Qt related.
