Questions tagged [qstring]

A QString is a class in Qt library which implements character strings.

QString holds a unicode string inside, and provides a set of useful functions to manipulate the data, including easy concatenation, trimming, search and replace, and conversion functions.

QString can also be converted to std::string and vice-versa with toStdString() and fromStdString() respectfully:

QString str = QString::fromStdString( std::string("Hello, World!") );

std::string str = QString("Hello world!").toStdString();

The official Qt documentation can be found here for Qt 4.8 and here for Qt 5.
