Convert QString to char

[magda]

How do I convert a QString to a char. When using latcardinalDirection = latlist[3].QLatin1Char(); the compiler says that QString does not have a member called QLatin1Char(). May you please assist?

@
char latcardinalDirection,longcardinalDirection ;
QString latitudestring = QInputDialog::getText(0, "Latitude"," Degrees Minutes Seconds Cardinal Direction: ",QLineEdit::Normal,"",&ok,0);

    QStringList latlist;
    latlist = latitudestring.split(" ");
    int latdegrees = latlist[0].toInt();
    int latminutes = latlist[1].toInt();
    int latseconds = latlist[2].toInt();
    latcardinalDirection = latlist[3].QLatin1Char();@

Normally the compiler is right saying a member is not existing if it is not.

If you are sure that the string is set correctly you can use something like
@
latlist[3].c_str()[0]
@

(Did not check const correctness on this)

Hi,

QLatin1Char() is not a method it's a constructor (invalid in this case)

You can use e.g.

@latlist[3][0].toAscii();@

As SGaist wrote "QLatin1Char() is not a method it’s a constructor"
in your case
@latlist[3][0].toAscii();@
is good solution. In future if you need char array or QByteArray you can use:
@latlist[3].toLatin1()@
