|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQFile class is an I/O device that operates on files.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> TQFile is an I/O device for reading and writing binary and text
|
|
files. A TQFile may be used by itself or more conveniently with a
|
|
<a href="qdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> or <a href="qtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a>.
|
|
<p> The file name is usually passed in the constructor but can be
|
|
changed with <a href="#setName">setName</a>(). You can check for a file's existence with
|
|
<a href="#exists">exists</a>() and remove a file with <a href="#remove">remove</a>().
|
|
<p> The file is opened with <a href="#open">open</a>(), closed with <a href="#close">close</a>() and flushed
|
|
with <a href="#flush">flush</a>(). Data is usually read and written using TQDataStream
|
|
or TQTextStream, but you can read with <a href="qiodevice.html#readBlock">readBlock</a>() and <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>()
|
|
and write with <a href="qiodevice.html#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>(). TQFile also supports <a href="#getch">getch</a>(),
|
|
<a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>() and <a href="#putch">putch</a>().
|
|
<p> The size of the file is returned by <a href="#size">size</a>(). You can get the
|
|
current file position or move to a new file position using the
|
|
<a href="qiodevice.html#at">at</a>() functions. If you've reached the end of the file, <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>()
|
|
returns TRUE. The file handle is returned by <a href="#handle">handle</a>().
|
|
<p> Here is a code fragment that uses <a href="qtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> to read a text file
|
|
line by line. It prints each line with a line number.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="qstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> lines;
|
|
TQFile file( "file.txt" );
|
|
if ( file.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_ReadOnly ) ) {
|
|
<a href="qtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> stream( &file );
|
|
<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> line;
|
|
int i = 1;
|
|
while ( !stream.<a href="qtextstream.html#atEnd">atEnd</a>() ) {
|
|
line = stream.<a href="qtextstream.html#readLine">readLine</a>(); // line of text excluding '\n'
|
|
printf( "%3d: %s\n", i++, line.<a href="qstring.html#latin1">latin1</a>() );
|
|
lines += line;
|
|
}
|
|
file.<a href="#close">close</a>();
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> Writing text is just as easy. The following example shows how to
|
|
write the data we read into the string list from the previous
|
|
example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
TQFile file( "file.txt" );
|
|
if ( file.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_WriteOnly ) ) {
|
|
<a href="qtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> stream( &file );
|
|
for ( TQStringList::Iterator it = lines.begin(); it != lines.end(); ++it )
|
|
stream << *it << "\n";
|
|
file.<a href="#close">close</a>();
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> The <a href="qfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a> class holds detailed information about a file, such
|
|
as access permissions, file dates and file types.
|
|
<p> The <a href="qdir.html">TQDir</a> class manages directories and lists of file names.
|
|
<p> TQt uses Unicode file names. If you want to do your own I/O on Unix
|
|
systems you may want to use <a href="#encodeName">encodeName</a>() (and <a href="#decodeName">decodeName</a>()) to
|
|
convert the file name into the local encoding.
|
|

|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQFile-2"></a>TQFile::TQFile ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & name )

|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQFile"></a>TQFile::~TQFile ()

Destroys a TQFile. Calls <a href="#close">close</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="atEnd"></a>TQFile::atEnd () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns TRUE if the end of file has been reached; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
If TQFile has not been <a href="#open">open</a>()'d, then the behavior is undefined.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#size">size</a>().

|
|
|
<p>Example: <a href="distributor-example.html#x2655">distributor/distributor.ui.h</a>.
|

<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qiodevice.html#atEnd">TQIODevice</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="close"></a>TQFile::close ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Closes an open file.
|
|
<p> The file is not closed if it was opened with an existing file handle.
|
|
If the existing file handle is a <tt>FILE*</tt>, the file is flushed.
|
|
If the existing file handle is an <tt>int</tt> file descriptor, nothing
|
|
is done to the file.
|
|
<p> Some "write-behind" filesystems may report an unspecified error on
|
|
closing the file. These errors only indicate that something may
|
|
have gone wrong since the previous <a href="#open">open</a>(). In such a case <a href="qiodevice.html#status">status</a>()
|
|
reports <a href="qiodevice.html#status">IO_UnspecifiedError</a> after <a href="#close">close</a>(), otherwise <a href="qiodevice.html#status">IO_Ok</a>.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#open">open</a>() and <a href="#flush">flush</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="decodeName"></a>TQFile::decodeName ( const <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a> & localFileName )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This does the reverse of <a href="#encodeName">TQFile::encodeName</a>() using <em>localFileName</em>.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDecodingFunction">setDecodingFunction</a>().
|
|
|
|
<p>Example: <a href="distributor-example.html#x2657">distributor/distributor.ui.h</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a> <a name="encodeName"></a>TQFile::encodeName ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
When you use TQFile, <a href="qfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a>, and <a href="qdir.html">TQDir</a> to access the file system
|
|
with TQt, you can use Unicode file names. On Unix, these file names
|
|
are converted to an 8-bit encoding. If you want to do your own
|
|
file I/O on Unix, you should convert the file name using this
|
|
function. On Windows NT/2000, Unicode file names are supported
|
|
directly in the file system and this function should be avoided.
|
|
On Windows 95, non-Latin1 locales are not supported.
|
|
<p> By default, this function converts <em>fileName</em> to the local 8-bit
|
|
encoding determined by the user's locale. This is sufficient for
|
|
file names that the user chooses. File names hard-coded into the
|
|
application should only use 7-bit ASCII filename characters.
|
|
<p> The conversion scheme can be changed using <a href="#setEncodingFunction">setEncodingFunction</a>().
|
|
This might be useful if you wish to give the user an option to
|
|
store file names in UTF-8, etc., but be aware that such file names
|
|
would probably then be unrecognizable when seen by other programs.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#decodeName">decodeName</a>().
|
|
|
|
<p>Example: <a href="distributor-example.html#x2658">distributor/distributor.ui.h</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="errorString"></a>TQFile::errorString () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a human-readable description of the reason of an error that occurred
|
|
on the device. The error described by the string corresponds to changes of
|
|
<a href="qiodevice.html#status">TQIODevice::status</a>(). If the status is reset, the error string is also reset.
|
|
<p> The returned strings are not translated with the <a href="qobject.html#tr">TQObject::tr</a>() or
|
|
<a href="qapplication.html#translate">TQApplication::translate</a>() functions. They are marked as translatable
|
|
strings in the "TQFile" context. Before you show the string to the user you
|
|
should translate it first, for example:
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
TQFile f( "address.dat" );
|
|
if ( !f.<a href="#open">open</a>( <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_ReadOnly</a> ) {
|
|
TQMessageBox::<a href="qmessagebox.html#critical">critical</a>(
|
|
this,
|
|
tr("Open failed"),
|
|
tr("Could not open file for reading: %1").arg( qApp-><a href="qapplication.html#translate">translate</a>("TQFile",f.<a href="#errorString">errorString</a>()) )
|
|
);
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="qiodevice.html#status">TQIODevice::status</a>(), <a href="qiodevice.html#resetStatus">TQIODevice::resetStatus</a>(), and <a href="#setErrorString">setErrorString</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="exists"></a>TQFile::exists ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns TRUE if the file given by <em>fileName</em> exists; otherwise
|
|
returns FALSE.
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples: <a href="tutorial2-05.html#x2563">chart/chartform.cpp</a>, <a href="dirview-example.html#x1674">dirview/dirview.cpp</a>, and <a href="helpviewer-example.html#x988">helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="exists-2"></a>TQFile::exists () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Returns TRUE if this file exists; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#name">name</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="flush"></a>TQFile::flush ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Flushes the file buffer to the disk.
|
|
<p> <a href="#close">close</a>() also flushes the file buffer.
|
|
|
|
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qiodevice.html#flush">TQIODevice</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="getch"></a>TQFile::getch ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Reads a single byte/character from the file.
|
|
<p> Returns the byte/character read, or -1 if the end of the file has
|
|
been reached.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#putch">putch</a>() and <a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>().
|
|
|
|
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qiodevice.html#getch">TQIODevice</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="handle"></a>TQFile::handle () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the file handle of the file.
|
|
<p> This is a small positive integer, suitable for use with C library
|
|
functions such as fdopen() and fcntl(). On systems that use file
|
|
descriptors for sockets (ie. Unix systems, but not Windows) the handle
|
|
can be used with <a href="qsocketnotifier.html">TQSocketNotifier</a> as well.
|
|
<p> If the file is not open or there is an error, <a href="#handle">handle</a>() returns -1.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="qsocketnotifier.html">TQSocketNotifier</a>.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="name"></a>TQFile::name () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the name set by <a href="#setName">setName</a>().
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setName">setName</a>() and <a href="qfileinfo.html#fileName">TQFileInfo::fileName</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="open"></a>TQFile::open ( int m )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Opens the file specified by the file name currently set, using the
|
|
mode <em>m</em>. Returns TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.
|
|
<p> <!-- index IO_Raw --><!-- index IO_ReadOnly --><!-- index IO_WriteOnly --><!-- index IO_ReadWrite --><!-- index IO_Append --><!-- index IO_Truncate --><!-- index IO_Translate -->
|

to the file at once. Call <a href="#flush">flush</a>() to make sure that the data is
|
|
really written.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If you have a buffered file opened for both reading and
|
|
writing you must not perform an input operation immediately after
|
|
an output operation or vice versa. You should always call flush()
|
|
or a file positioning operation, e.g. at(), between input and
|
|
output operations, otherwise the buffer may contain garbage.
|
|
<p> If the file does not exist and <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> or <a href="qfile.html#open">IO_ReadWrite</a>
|
|
is specified, it is created.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
TQFile f1( "/tmp/data.bin" );
|
|
f1.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_Raw | IO_ReadWrite );
|
|
|
|
TQFile f2( "readme.txt" );
|
|
f2.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_ReadOnly | IO_Translate );
|
|
|
|
TQFile f3( "audit.log" );
|
|
f3.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_WriteOnly | IO_Append );

</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Opens a file in the mode <em>m</em> using an existing file handle <em>f</em>.
|
|
Returns TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
void printError( const char* msg )
|
|
{
|
|
TQFile f;

f.<a href="qiodevice.html#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>( msg, qstrlen(msg) ); // write to stderr
|
|
f.<a href="#close">close</a>();
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> When a TQFile is opened using this function, <a href="#close">close</a>() does not actually
|
|
close the file, only flushes it.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If <em>f</em> is <tt>stdin</tt>, <tt>stdout</tt>, <tt>stderr</tt>, you may not

Returns TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.
|
|
<p> When a TQFile is opened using this function, <a href="#close">close</a>() does not actually

close the file.
|
|
<p> The TQFile that is opened using this function, is automatically set to be in
|

run into performance issues, you should try to use one of the other open
|
|
functions.
|
