QTextIStream(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QTextIStream — bestie edition (from the qtextistream manual, section 3qt) 💖

okay so. sit down. hydrate. we're learning QTextIStream and it's genuinely so cute and so simple, it's giving "shortcut class" and I mean that as the highest compliment. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

QTextIStream — a convenience class for input streams. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

so real talk first: every single function in this class is reentrant when Qt is built with thread support. (and yes there's a stray </p> floating around in the original text like an unclosed parenthesis in a group chat — legacy HTML moment, we love her anyway 💅)

you pull it in with:

#include <qtextstream.h>

she inherits QTextStream. that's her mother, that's where she gets it from. 👑

✨ Public Members ✨

  • QTextIStream ( const QString * s )
  • QTextIStream ( QByteArray ba )
  • QTextIStream ( FILE * f )

three constructors, three doors, all of them lead to reading stuff. pick your fighter.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

QTextIStream is the convenience class for input streams. she's the shorthand girlie — she makes simple input QTextStreams for you so you never have to pass a mode argument to the constructor. that's the whole point. the mode argument? not invited. 🚫

and like, it makes things SO easy. for example, you can literally just write this:

QString data = "123 456";
int a, b;
QTextIStream(&data) >> a >> b;

look at that. >> >> >>. ate. no notes. 🔥

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QTextIStream::QTextIStream ( const QString * s )

Constructs a stream to read from the string s. give her a string pointer, she reads from it. periodt.

QTextIStream::QTextIStream ( QByteArray ba )

Constructs a stream to read from the array ba. byte array besties rise up 🫶

QTextIStream::QTextIStream ( FILE * f )

Constructs a stream to read from the file f. old-school FILE *, still iconic, still slaying.
