[SOLVED] Passing an integer value in QProcess

amban

Hi,
I have written a bash script which queries my MqSQL database in a remote server. I have written several QProcess cases but those involved no input. Now i want to pass an integer value i.e the job-id to execute my bash script. When i do a

@
proc->start("path/to/bash/script" , QSringList () << "a_string");
@

my script doesnt run (because the passed argument is a string)

Please help.

[EDIT: code formatting, please wrap in @-tags, Volker]

Why are you using a bash script to wrap a SQL query? Why not just use QSqlQuery and friends?

Scripts only take string arguments, so I am not sure what the problem is...

Do you need to convert a integer to a string? Check QString::number(...) for that.

Ok i solved it. My fault, it was simple concatenation of Qstrings.
So now i have
@Qstring command = "/path/to/bash/script" ;
QString input = ui->lineEdit->text();
command.append(input);

                    QProcess *p = new QProcess();
                    p.start(command);@

Thanks for all your help.

as Tobias said, use "QString::number":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qstring.html#number
