Methods

__init__ (self, QTextCodec codec)
__init__ (self, QTextCodec codec, QTextCodec.ConversionFlags flags)
QString toUnicode (self, str chars)
toUnicode (self, QString target, str chars)
QString toUnicode (self, QByteArray ba)

Detailed Description

The QTextDecoder class provides a state-based decoder.

A text decoder converts text from an encoded text format into Unicode using a specific codec.

The decoder converts text in this format into Unicode, remembering any state that is required between calls.

Method Documentation

QTextDecoder.init (self, QTextCodec codec)

Constructs a text decoder for the given codec.

QTextDecoder.init (self, QTextCodec codec, QTextCodec.ConversionFlags flags)

Constructs a text decoder for the given codec and conversion flags.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.7.

QString QTextDecoder.toUnicode (self, str chars)

Converts the first len bytes in chars to Unicode, returning the result.

If not all characters are used (e.g. if only part of a multi-byte encoding is at the end of the characters), the decoder remembers enough state to continue with the next call to this function.

QTextDecoder.toUnicode (self, QString target, str chars)

This is an overloaded function.

The converted string is returned in target.

QString QTextDecoder.toUnicode (self, QByteArray ba)

This is an overloaded function.

Converts the bytes in the byte array specified by ba to Unicode and returns the result.
