Qt separating csv file and storing to differnt variables - c++

Question

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include"administrative.h"
#include"employee.h"
#include"technical.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<QVector>
#include<QFile>
#include<QTextStream>
#include<fstream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QFile t("C:\\Users\\User006\\Documents\\EmployeeCSV_Vector\\technical.csv");
if (!t.open(QFile::ReadOnly | QFile::Text))
cout << "ERROR: File open";
QTextStream in(&t);
while (!in.atEnd())
{
QString line=in.readLine();
for (int i=0;i<line.size();i++)
{
QString item=line.split(",");
QString name=item;
QString empCode=item;
QString designation=item;
QString prCode=item;
QString BP=item;
QString DA=item;
QString PA=item;
cout<<name.toStdString()<<"\t";
}
}
t.close();
The above code which I wrote is the code that I wrote to separate a CSV file. The technical.csv file contains some line of values that is separated by commas, I need each value in each line separately in a different variable. But I am not able to do this. Please help me to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Depending on the file structure (does it contain line/column headers, single/multi-line?) you use QString::split() to get a QStringList per line. Then you assign the stringlist items to the variables according to your csv structure knowledge.

Answer 2

I wonder if your code is compiling. According to Qt, the QString::split method returns a QStringList. After the split, you have the items in a list. Assuming all columns are as expected, you can interpret the file as follows:
QTextStream in(&t);
while (!in.atEnd())
{
QStringList items = in.readLine().split(',');
QString name = items.at(0);
...
QString PA = items.at(6);
std::cout<<name.toStdString()<<std::endl;
// do some processing
}
