Convert QString to string

Punit

Hello,
I have a Qstring which contains the path of a folder. I want to convert it into string.

QString name = "/Users/macwaves/Desktop/copy to device2"
string str= name. toStdString();
std::cout<<str;

OUTPUT: "copy to device2"

I tried everything toUtf8().constData(), toLatin1().data(), toStdString but it produces the same output (Only show "copy to device2" instead of "/Users/macwaves/Desktop/copy to device2").

Any Suggestions?

Hi @Punit ,

Try this,

QString name = "/Users/macwaves/Desktop/copy to device2";
std::string text = name.toUtf8().constData();
std::cout<< text;

or

QString name = "/Users/macwaves/Desktop/copy to device2";
std::string text = name.toLocal8Bit().constData();
std::cout<< text;

In my case,both worked well. I have tested. http://postimg.org/image/rn4sm30sb/

Yes, It works. Thanks a lot buddy. @Ni-Sumi:)

@Ni.Sumi Do you know why the OP's code doesn't work for him? It works for me and I don't see anything wrong with his code (besides typos in the post).

Hi @Wieland ,

I did not test the code. But Yes, you are right. I tested @Punit 's code after my comment. It worked for me too(missed only that semicolon).
