<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed 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:

<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">qSetW(int) <td valign="top">sets the <a href="#width">field width</a>
to the given argument
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">qSetFill(int) <td valign="top">sets the <a href="#fill">fill character</a> to the given argument
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">qSetPrecision(int) <td valign="top">sets the <a href="#precision">precision</a> 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&gt;&gt;</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.

<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>&nbsp;*&nbsp;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>&nbsp;*&nbsp;str, int&nbsp;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( &amp;str, <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> );
ts &lt;&lt; "pi = " &lt;&lt; 3.14; // str == "pi = 3.14"
</pre>
<p> Writing data to the text stream will modify the contents of the
string. The string will be expanded when data is written beyond
the end of the string. Note that the string will not be truncated:
<pre>
<a href="qstring.html">QString</a> str = "pi = 3.14";
QTextStream ts( &amp;str, IO_WriteOnly );
ts &lt;&lt; "2+2 = " &lt;&lt; 2+2; // str == "2+2 = 414"
</pre>
<p> Note that because QString is Unicode, you should not use
<a href="#readRawBytes">readRawBytes</a>() or <a href="#writeRawBytes">writeRawBytes</a>() on such a stream.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream-4"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream ( <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;str, int&nbsp;filemode )
</h3> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> This constructor is equivalent to the constructor taking a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>*
parameter.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream-5"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream ( <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>&nbsp;a, int&nbsp;mode )
</h3>
Constructs a text stream that operates on the byte array, <em>a</em>,
through an internal <a href="qbuffer.html">QBuffer</a> device. The <em>mode</em> argument is passed
to the device's open() function; see <a href="qiodevice.html#mode">QIODevice::mode</a>().
<p> Example:
<pre>
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> array;
QTextStream ts( array, <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> );
ts &lt;&lt; "pi = " &lt;&lt; 3.14 &lt;&lt; '\0'; // array == "pi = 3.14"
</pre>
<p> Writing data to the text stream will modify the contents of the
array. The array will be expanded when data is written beyond the
end of the string.
<p> Same example, using a QBuffer:
<pre>
<a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> array;
<a href="qbuffer.html">QBuffer</a> buf( array );
buf.<a href="qiodevice.html#open">open</a>( IO_WriteOnly );
QTextStream ts( &amp;buf );
ts &lt;&lt; "pi = " &lt;&lt; 3.14 &lt;&lt; '\0'; // array == "pi = 3.14"
buf.<a href="qiodevice.html#close">close</a>();
</pre>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QTextStream-6"></a>QTextStream::QTextStream ( FILE&nbsp;*&nbsp;fh, int&nbsp;mode )
</h3>
Constructs a text stream that operates on an existing file handle
<em>fh</em> through an internal <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> device. The <em>mode</em> argument is
passed to the device's open() function; see <a href="qiodevice.html#mode">QIODevice::mode</a>().
<p> Note that if you create a QTextStream <tt>cout</tt> or another name that
is also used for another variable of a different type, some
linkers may confuse the two variables, which will often cause
crashes.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QTextStream"></a>QTextStream::~QTextStream ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Destroys the text stream.
<p> The destructor does not affect the current IO device.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="atEnd"></a>QTextStream::atEnd () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the IO device has reached the end position (end of
the stream or file) or if there is no IO device set; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qiodevice.html#atEnd">QIODevice::atEnd</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="addressbook-example.html#x601">addressbook/centralwidget.cpp</a> and <a href="grapher-nsplugin-example.html#x2774">grapher/grapher.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a>&nbsp;* <a name="codec"></a>QTextStream::codec ()
</h3>
Returns the codec actually used for this stream.
<p> If Unicode is automatically detected in input, a codec with <a href="qtextcodec.html#name">name()</a> "ISO-10646-UCS-2" is returned.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCodec">setCodec</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a>&nbsp;* <a name="device"></a>QTextStream::device () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the IO device currently set.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDevice">setDevice</a>() and <a href="#unsetDevice">unsetDevice</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="eof"></a>QTextStream::eof () const
</h3>
<p> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> This function has been renamed to <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="qiodevice.html#atEnd">QIODevice::atEnd</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="tutorial2-07.html#x2592">chart/chartform_files.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="fill"></a>QTextStream::fill () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the fill character. The default value is ' ' (space).
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="fill-2"></a>QTextStream::fill ( int&nbsp;f )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Sets the fill character to <em>f</em>. Returns the previous fill character.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="flags"></a>QTextStream::flags () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the current stream flags. The default value is 0.
