Small Qt library to handle console input asynchronously using signals and slots. Based on gjorquera's snippet.
Add to project in *.pro file
include($$PWD/src/qconsolelistener.pri)Include the header #include <QConsoleListener> and connect to the QConsoleListener::newLine signal. For example:
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QConsoleListener>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
// listen to console input
QConsoleListener console;
QObject::connect(&console, &QConsoleListener::newLine,
[&a](const QString &strNewLine) {
qDebug() << "Echo :" << strNewLine;
// quit
if (strNewLine.compare("q", Qt::CaseInsensitive) == 0)
{
qDebug() << "Goodbye";
a.quit();
}
});
qDebug() << "Listening to console input:";
return a.exec();
}
