[SOLVED]toAscii function depreciation what to use instead?

[mahmoud899]

Hello, I want to write a small program, the program takes a STRING and converts it to ASCII code. The problem is that the toAscii function depreciated. I would like to know if there is another function that takes a STRING and converts it to ASCII.

Thank You

Hi,

Use QString::toLatin1()

Consider using toUtf8() so Unicode characters won't get destroyed!

Note: The ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7F) are bit-identical to ASCII in UTF-8.

Hi, if you characters are really ASCII characters, any ASCII-compatible encode can be used, such as Latin1/Latin2/.../Latin11/Latin13/.../Latin15/Utf8/GB18030/...

All of these conversion can be done using QTextCodec::fromUnicode().

QString has provided the convenient QString::toLatin1()/QString::toUtf8(), depending on the your local, QString::toLacal8Bit() can be used too.
