It's strange, I add desired file into the resources via Add Existing Files..., the file is there. I run qmake ("Build->Run qmake") to make the file available. The first issue: I can't write anything into the file from output terminal! But when I manually write into the file, the output terminal shows the change every time I run it. Second issue: it still says QIODevice::read: device not open ! Here's my code:
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QFile>
#include <QString>
#include <QTextStream>
#include <iostream>
void wFile(QString Filename)
{
QFile nFile(Filename);
QTextStream str(&nFile);
qDebug() << "what do you want to write in the desired file: ";
str.readLine();
if (!nFile.open(QFile::WriteOnly | QFile::Text))
{
qDebug() << "could not open the file";
return;
}
nFile.flush();
nFile.close();
}
void read (QString Filename){
QFile nFile(Filename);
if(!nFile.open(QFile::ReadOnly | QFile::Text))
{
qDebug() << "could not open file for reading";
return;
}
QTextStream in(&nFile);
QString nText = in.readAll();
qDebug() << nText;
nFile.close();
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QString nFilename =":/MyFiles/DocumentArminV.txt";
wFile(nFilename);
read(nFilename);
return a.exec();
}
The files saved in a qresource are read-only since they are part of the executable so you can not write or modify them.
docs:
Currently, Qt always stores the data directly in the executable, even on Windows, macOS, and iOS, where the operating system provides native support for resources. ...
