Getting multiple values from one key

? Offline

If I have INI file with this format:

[TAG1]
name=value1,value2,value3,...

[TAG2]
name=value1,value2,value3,...

[TAG3]
name=value1,value2,value3,...

How to get JSON object that looks like this:

{"TAG1":["value1","value2",...], "TAG2":["value1","value2",...]}

I've tried to get them like this:

QSettings settings(":/data.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
QStringList groups= settings.childGroups();
foreach (QString group, groups)
{
    settings.beginGroup(group);
    QStringList keys = settings.childKeys();
    QJsonArray arr;
    foreach (key, keys) {
        values=settings.value(key);
        QJsonObject object;
        QJsonValue valueJson(values.toString());
        object.insert(key,valueJson);
        arr.append(object);
    }
    qDebug() <<"Array: "<< arr;
    jsonObj.insert(group,arr);
    qDebug()<<jsonObj;

    settings.endGroup()

    }

But what I get as QJsonObject is:

QJsonObject({"TAG1":[{"name":""}],"TAG2":[{"name":""}],"TAG3":[{"name":""}]})
I dont want "name", only values as I wrote up there.

@Guest said in Getting multiple values from one key:

settings.value(key);

Since the returned QVariant holds a QStringList QVariant::toString() will return an empty string since there is no automatic conversion between a QStringList and a QString
