You say you use VS2010, then have you built Qt framework with VS 2010?
//the Qt binaries built with VS2008 might give you weird run-time errors if the application is built with VS2010

ZapB

There is no magic. You must have changed the build somehow (stale file perhaps). We cannot tell from your description what the problem is. Please provide a clear description of the problem and ideally a small compilable example that reproduces it.

Please disregard the additional problem from my last post. I'm actually having a problem with

QTextStream its(&infile;);

infile is loading the name of the input file, but QTextStream its isn't actually reading the file. I go on to do:

line = its.readLine(), but line always shows up as "" (even though the first line of the file is a 2).

Anyone able to help, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

CODE:

QFile infile(_filename);
/* if (!(infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)))
{
return 1;
}*/

QTextStream its(&infile;);

// parse header
bool dataRow = false;

QString line;

while (!dataRow && !its.atEnd())
{
line = its.readLine();

if (line.contains(QRegExp("\\d+\\.?\\d*"))) // check for data row
{
  dataRow = true;
}

} //should have first row of data

_stages = line.toInt();

Sorry, I didn't notice it didn't post correctly.

You may want to open your file before trying to read from it.

pbhuter

Well, obviously - why didn't I see that. However, infile.open() doesn't work. I apparently need some arguments. I looked in the online Qt documentation for QFile, and I don't see anything about "open".

mlong

QFile inherits "open":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qiodevice.html#open from QIODevice. You want
@
infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
@

pbhuter

I did

@infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)@

But I'm still having the same issue.

ZapB

Please post a small compilable example that reproduces your problem. Then we can try it out ourselves and will likely be able to help you much easier.

pbhuter

@
QFile infile(_filename);

infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);

QTextStream its(&infile;);

// parse header
bool dataRow = false;

QString line;

while (!dataRow && !its.atEnd())
{
line = its.readLine();

if (line.contains(QRegExp("\\d+\\.?\\d*"))) // check for data row
{
  dataRow = true;
}

} //should have first row of data

_stages = line.toInt();@

I get into the while loop and it seems to think its is empty, so really I'm thinking it's still an issue with QTextStream. Let me know if you need anything else.

ZapB

And what is in your data file please?

pbhuter

test.dat contains:

2
100
50
50
2.5
5
60
10
75
45
30
1.6
2
45
25
25
15

So _stages should pick up the 2 at the top of the file. I then have:

@while (!its.atEnd())
{
int i = 0;
while(i < _stages)
{
line = its.readLine();
_wMasses.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_fMasses.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_dMasses.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_flowRates.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_burnTimes.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_thrusts.push_back(line.toDouble());

line = its.readLine();
_alphas.push_back(line.toDouble());

i++;
}

line = its.readLine();
_Mass = line.toDouble();

line = its.readLine();
_Alpha = line.toDouble();
}@

Which reads the rest of the file.

ZapB

Does it work if you change this line:

@
infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
@

to this:

@
infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
@

pbhuter

No, still doesn't work...

pbhuter

I had:

@if (!(infile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)))
{
return 1;
}@

And it goes in and returns 1. Not sure what's going on.

ZapB

Does your process have permissions to read the file? Is some other process locking the file? Is the path correct?

pbhuter

My file was either in the wrong location, or I was trying to run my program from the wrong directory. Thank you so much.

ZapB

Meh, we've all been there, done that at some point. :-) Another trick you can use is to use something like this:

@
QFileInfo fi( fileName );
if ( !fi.isReadable() )
do something
@

Glad you got it working in the end.
