QStringList index out of range

[JohnSRV]

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to extract some informations from a QStringList. I keep getting an error that the index is out of range.

Here's how the List is constructed.

QString selectedTarget = ui->TargetList->currentItem()->text();
QStringList List = selectedTarget.split(QRegExp("\\s+"));

The String selected Target contains the Hostname and the Ip Adress of a target device I'm trying to connect to. I Split this String in two separate String (Hostname and Address). I then try to store each of them in a different string but I get an error. So I tried to display the content and size of the List with the following code:

qDebug() << List.count();
	for (int f = 0;  f <= List.size() ; f++)
	{
		qDebug() << List.takeAt(f);
	}

List size is 2 which is right. But only the first Item of the list gets displayed. Within the second iteration i get the error that index out of range. which makes no sense the size of my list is 2 and i only iterated once.

why is this happening?

takeAt removes the item of index f.
If you just want to print it, use at instead.
Do note that all the take* functions in Qt will remove something from the container / parent.

@JohnSRV additionally to what @Bonnie said, your end condition is f <= List.size()that should be < otherwise it will make 3 try's to instead of the allowed 2
