Loss of non ascii characters from QString to char *












0















I have a QString with non ascii characters . I am passing this QString to another process . However when I debug the receiving process the argv arguments do not receive a correct string that was intended from the source . My pseudo code would be



process.start( proc, QStringList() << "-a" <<param );
process.waitForFinished(m_timeout);


Here param is the QString that contains the non ascii text

  • Does the program accept non-ASCII parameters outside of Qt? Try running proc -a "....." in a cmd window. If that works, you can try in Qt with process.setNativeArguments().

  • even thru command prompt if i pass the string ,in the debugger of the process I do not get the correct characters

  • Then the problem is on the receiving application. You should make a new question about that.

I solved the problem with the following code



LPWSTR *szArglist;
int argC;
szArglist = CommandLineToArgvW(GetCommandLineW(),&argC);
if(NULL==szArglist) {
throw;
}
QString qstrConvertFile = QString::fromUtf16((const ushort*)(szArglist[4]));
