Qt - QTextStream - How to set cursor position to beginning of a line?

Question

After readLine(), how to set cursor position to the beggining of a line?

Using seek() and pos() doesnt work for me.

Here is how my file.txt look like:

Object1 Some-name 2 3.40 1.50

Object2 Some-name 2 3.40 1.50 3.25

Object3 Some-name 2 3.40 1.50

Here's my code:

QFile file("file.txt");
    if(file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
        QTextStream stream(&file);

        while(!stream.atEnd()) {
            qint64 posBefore = file.pos();
            QString line = stream.readLine(); 
            QStringList splitline = line.split(" ");

            if(splitline.at(0) == "Object1") {
                stream.seek(posBefore);
                object1 tmp;
                stream >> tmp;
                tab.push_back(tmp);
            }

           if(splitline.at(0) == "Object2") {
                stream.seek(posBefore);
                object2 tmp;
                stream >> tmp;
                tab.push_back(tmp);
            }

            if(splitline.at(0) == "Object3") {
                stream.seek(posBefore);
                object3 tmp;
                stream >> tmp;
                tab.push_back(tmp);
            }

        }
        file.close();
    }

So, you need (de)serialization.

Try to do it right. Here is official documentation: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/datastreamformat.html Here is example: Serialization with Qt
