How to read only first words from each line of file and add them to another file?

Annatar

Hello. I have a

Qfile myfile("a.txt");

which contents:
a 123
b 123
c 123

I want to add only a, b, c to my another file;
Tryied to do it in this way:

    QFile myfile("a.txt");
    myfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);

    QTextStream out(&myfile);

    QString text;
    QStringList split1;

    while(!out.atEnd())
    {
        text = out.readLine();
        split1.append(text.split(" "));

    }
    myfile.close();

    QFile myfile2("b.txt");

    if(myfile2.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    {
        QTextStream out(&myfile2);
        out << split1.join("\n");

    }
    else
        QMessageBox::information(this," ", " - ");

    myfile2.close();

and fully understood, that I just delete every space " " and separate words from lines. Pls help.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If you only what the first word why not split1.append(text.split(" ").first()); ?
