Description</h2> The QTextStream class provides basic functions for reading and writing text using a <a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a>. <p> <p> The text stream class has a functional interface that is very similar to that of the standard C++ iostream class. <p> Qt provides several global functions similar to the ones in iostream: <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">

to the given argument </table></center> <p> <b>Warning:</b> By default QTextStream will automatically detect whether integers in the stream are in decimal, octal, hexadecimal or binary format when reading from the stream. In particular, a leading '0' signifies octal, i.e. the sequence "0100" will be interpreted as 64. <p> The QTextStream class reads and writes text; it is not appropriate for dealing with binary data (but <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a> is). <p> By default, output of Unicode text (i.e. <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>) is done using the local 8-bit encoding. This can be changed using the <a href="#setEncoding">setEncoding</a>() method. For input, the QTextStream will auto-detect standard Unicode "byte order marked" text files; otherwise the local 8-bit encoding is used. <p> The <a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a> is set in the constructor, or later using <a href="#setDevice">setDevice</a>(). If the end of the input is reached <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>() returns TRUE. Data can be read into variables of the appropriate type using the <a href="#operator-gt-gt">operator>></a>() overloads, or read in its entirety into a single string using <a href="#read">read</a>(), or read a line at a time using <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>(). Whitespace can be skipped over using <a href="#skipWhiteSpace">skipWhiteSpace</a>(). You can set flags for the stream using <a href="#flags">flags</a>() or <a href="#setf">setf</a>(). The stream also supports <a href="#width">width</a>(), <a href="#precision">precision</a>() and <a href="#fill">fill</a>(); use <a href="#reset">reset</a>() to reset the defaults. <p> <p>See also <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>, <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>, and <a href="text.html">Text Related Classes</a>. <hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="Encoding-enum"></a>QTextStream::Encoding</h3> <ul> <li><tt>QTextStream::Locale</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::Latin1</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::Unicode</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::UnicodeNetworkOrder</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::UnicodeReverse</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::RawUnicode</tt> <li><tt>QTextStream::UnicodeUTF8</tt> </ul><p> See <a href="#setEncoding">setEncoding</a>() for an explanation of the encodings. <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream () </h3> Constructs a data stream that has no IO device. <h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream-2"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream ( <a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a> * iod ) </h3> Constructs a text stream that uses the IO device <em>iod</em>. <h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream-3"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream ( <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> * str, int filemode ) </h3> Constructs a text stream that operates on the Unicode <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>, <em>str</em>, through an internal device. The <em>filemode</em> argument is passed to the device's open() function; see <a href="qiodevice.html#mode">QIODevice::mode</a>(). <p> If you set an encoding or codec with <a href="#setEncoding">setEncoding</a>() or <a href="#setCodec">setCodec</a>(), this setting is ignored for text streams that operate on QString. <p> Example: <pre> <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> str; QTextStream ts( &str, <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> ); ts << "pi = " << 3.14; // str == "pi = 3.14" </pre> <p> Writing data to the text stream will modify the contents of the string.
