Writing a QString value in a QFile plain-text object

[xtingray]

I wonder how hard is to write a QString value to a plain-text file using Qt. It should be an easy task, but as far as I have been looking for it isn't.
All the code I could find is related to const char * strings. By the way, I need to use a QTextStream global variable to save the strings. Any suggestion?

I really appreciate any example to understand what is the right way to do this.

Thanks!

I honestly haven't tried QFile directly but using QTextStream makes it pretty easy. Here is example code I use to save macro code which comes across as a QString:

if( fileName.isEmpty()==false )
{
  QFile scriptFile(fileName);
  if( !scriptFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly) )
  {
    QString msg = QString( tr("SaveCurrentMacro - Unable to save current script to file: %1") ).arg(fileName);
    Logger::GetLogger()->WriteToLog( msg );
    QMessageBox::critical(this, tr("Macro Editor"), msg, QMessageBox::Ok );
    return;
  }

  // Save the script
  QTextStream outputStream(&scriptFile);
  QString code = m_MacroEditor->toPlainText();
  code.replace("\n","\r\n");
  outputStream << code;
  scriptFile.close();
  SetCurrentMacroFile( fileName );
  SetMacroChanged( false );
}

You can open the file for writing and insert write QByteArrays to it via:
QFile::write(const QByteArray & byteArray)

Thus pick your favorite:
QString::toUtf8() or QString::toLocal8bit().
