[SOLVED] ToAscii() method in Qt5.2.1

MohammadReza

Hello dears.

In Qt5.2.1,When i want to use ToAscii() for a variable of Qstring datatype, there is no suggestion in autocomplete list!
Isn`t there this method in Qt5.2.1?

Thanks a lot.

ToAscii might have been removed. Check out the release information of Qt5.2.1: "toAscii is obsolete!!":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qstring-obsolete.html. It is an almost useless function since it's better to use the toUtf8() function.

Thanks For your response.
I want to set this question "solved". I don`t know how?

Here's what worked for me. To get a file name into an ascii string>

QString filename = "blahblahblah";

QByteArray ba = filename.toUtf8();
const char *thefile = ba.constData();

last10 = fopen&#40;thefile,"r"&#41;;

The official replacement for QString::toAscii() is QString::toLatin1(). With toUtf8() you are changing the encoding!

just like sierdzio said, it's QString::toLatin1()
To make this solved just append [SOLVED] to the title of the thread

Ah, yes, your right. toLatin1() is the correct way.
