Avoid doing that. Seeking the stream is an expensive operation since QTextStream needs to flush the buffers, reposition the device and reconvert the input into UTF-16 without Carriage Return. I don't know what happens if you position it after the CR but before the LF. I know what happens if you position in the middle of a multibyte sequence: the first character you'll read will be either mojibake or the Unicode Replacement Character (U+FFFD). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
