Convert QString into UTF-8 string

goli

I have a file with utf-8 strings (hebrew). when i read the data from the file into Qstring argumet, i get incorrect string.
I tried to use QString::fromUtf8() function, but it didn't work.
Also when i use QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"), i get the same result, and the data is incorrect.

Does anyone know how can i get the correct values into the QString argument?

Could you show us how you are loading a file?

goli

open the file:

@
QFile myFile;
myFile.setFileName("file.txt");

// Open files
if(! myFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
qDebug() << "open file Error\n";
return;
}
@

then i read the data into QString :
@
QString line = m_myFile.readLine();
@

the dada is not correct.

The following simple test just loaded a correct string with cyrillic chars into string variable:

@
#include <QtCore>
#include <QFile>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Q_UNUSED(argc)
Q_UNUSED(argv)

QFile file;
file.setFileName("file.txt");

// Open files
if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
    qDebug() << "Open file error\n";
    return 0;
}

QString string = QString::fromUtf8(file.readLine());

return 0;

}

It works ok for both utf-8 file with or without Unicode BOM for me.

Try to check it out, will it work fine for you?

BTW, how do you make sure the data is incorrect: inspect a variable via debugger or outputting a value into some widget?
