Can we convert a string of type Qstring to char*?

[pratik041]

I want to convert because i need to pass to a function which receive char* string argument.

You can use QString::toStdString(), and then std::string::c_str(), and I think QString::constData() works as well.

All the to_ methods of QString are useful to convert it into another type. There is also a way to convert it to "8 bits":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html#toLocal8Bit and to "qbytearray":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html#toAscii.
