how to convert std::string to QString

Question

I have a problem:

std::string str("character/test/raw");
qDebug() << QString::fromStdString(str);

and the output is:

"]AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

I think the problem is in encoding but don't know how to fix it. Please help

string to const char*, then to qstring

std::string str("character/test/raw");
QString qstr(str.c_str());
qDebug() << qstr;

Is your QT compiled with STL compatible enabled option?

Maybe you can use fromUtf8 or one of other static functions of QString.

I've installed the vc++2008 compiled last version from qt.nokia.com

qDebug() << QString::fromUtf8(str.data(), str.size()); That helped, thanks

@Andrew QString::fromUtf8( str.c_str() ) should be enough.
