Standard Output Double Spaced in QTextEdit

DougyDrumz

For some reason when I:

while (myRemoteProcess->canReadLine())
{
    ui.outputTextEdit->append(myRemoteProcess->readLine());
}

the text is double spaced. I tried removing the "\n" from each line, counted the number of spaces and tabs to see if there weren't too many, and made sure the text was noWrap - all to no avail. The doesn't happen if append lines manually. Any ideas?

Hi,

What does myRemoteProcess->readLine()return ?

DougyDrumz

One QString with a <CR> (`\n'). It doesn't make any difference if a remove it.

SGaist

Are you sure you don't have \r\n in your string ?

DougyDrumz

Could be. Let me check.

Nope. Just '\n'.

Just found out the output of readLine is QByteArray. Will investigate further.

Ok. I found it. Here's what I did:

while (myRemoteProcess->canReadLine())
{
    QByteArray lineArray = myRemoteProcess->readLine();
    QString lineString(lineArray);
    lineString.remove('\n');
    ui.outputTextEdit->append(lineString);
}
