A TQFile may be used by itself or more conveniently with a +<a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> or <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a>. +<p> The file name is usually passed in the constructor but can be +changed with <a href="#setName">setName</a>(). You can check for a file's existence with +<a href="#exists">exists</a>() and remove a file with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). +<p> The file is opened with <a href="#open">open</a>(), closed with <a href="#close">close</a>() and flushed +with <a href="#flush">flush</a>(). Data is usually read and written using TQDataStream +or TQTextStream, but you can read with <a href="ntqiodevice.html#readBlock">readBlock</a>() and <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>() +and write with <a href="ntqiodevice.html#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>(). TQFile also supports <a href="#getch">getch</a>(), +<a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>() and <a href="#putch">putch</a>(). +<p> The size of the file is returned by <a href="#size">size</a>(). You can get the +current file position or move to a new file position using the +<a href="ntqiodevice.html#at">at</a>() functions. If you've reached the end of the file, <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>() +returns TRUE. The file handle is returned by <a href="#handle">handle</a>(). +<p> Here is a code fragment that uses <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> to read a text file +line by line. It prints each line with a line number. +<pre> + <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> lines; + TQFile file( "file.txt" ); + if ( file.<a href="#open">open</a>( IO_ReadOnly ) ) { + <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> stream( &file ); + <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> line; + int i = 1; + while ( !stream.<a href="ntqtextstream.html#atEnd">atEnd</a>() ) { + line = stream.<a href="ntqtextstream.html#readLine">readLine</a>(); // line of text excluding '\n' + printf( "%3d: %s\n", i++, line.<a href="ntqstring.html#latin1">latin1</a>() ); + lines += line; + } + file.<a href="#close">close</a>(); + } + </pre> + +<p> Writing text is just as easy.

On Unix, these file names +are converted to an 8-bit encoding. If you want to do your own +file I/O on Unix, you should convert the file name using this +function. On Windows NT/2000, Unicode file names are supported +directly in the file system and this function should be avoided. +On Windows 95, non-Latin1 locales are not supported. +<p> By default, this function converts <em>fileName</em> to the local 8-bit +encoding determined by the user's locale. This is sufficient for +file names that the user chooses.
