Overview

This code snippet demonstrates how to use QStringList in Qt for Symbian.

Various Function

• To make a String List.

QStringList name,namesplit;
name << "james 1980" << "james bond" << "paul" << "jonny joker";

• To join all the string in string list.

str1 = name.join(",");//str1="james 1980,james bond,paul,jonny joker"

• To break up a string into a string list.

namesplit = str1.split(",");// namesplit is same as name

• Extract a new list which contains only those strings which contain a particular substring (or match a particular regular expression).

namesplit = name.filter("james");//namesplit = ["james1980","james bond"]

• To replace String.

namesplit.replaceInStrings("a", "o");

Preconditions

• Download and Install latest version Qt for Symbian - Installation packages which has links on how to install the latest version

Code Snippet

#include <QApplication>
#include <QString>
#include <QStringList>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	QString str = "world";
	QString str1;
	QStringList name,namesplit;
	name << "james 1980" << "james bond" << "paul" << "jonny joker";
	str1 = name.join(",");//str1="james 1980,james bond,paul,jonny joker"
	namesplit = str1.split(",");// namesplit is same as name
	namesplit = name.filter("james");//namesplit = ["james1980","james bond"]
	bool a = name.contains(str);//Returns true if the list contains the string str; otherwise returns false.
	namesplit.replaceInStrings("a", "o");// Replace all the occurrence of "a" with "o"
	name.sort();//Sorts the list of strings in ascending order (case sensitively).     
	return app.exec();
}
