I created the GUI using QTDesigner and save the file as .ui extension. Then convert the file to .py file using the following code
pyuic4 -x test.ui -o test.py
Now I want to integrate my project code to this test.py file. Since I am new to pyqt4, I dont know how to read text from text edit and save to file and viceversa. Following is my code.
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from final_ar_gui import *
try:
_fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8
except AttributeError:
_fromUtf8 = lambda s: s
class Ui_AnaphoraResolution(object):
def setupUi(self, AnaphoraResolution):
AnaphoraResolution.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("AnaphoraResolution"))
AnaphoraResolution.resize(608, 620)
self.textEdit = QtGui.QTextEdit(AnaphoraResolution)
self.textEdit.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 110, 271, 341))
self.textEdit.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("textEdit"))
self.textEdit_2 = QtGui.QTextEdit(AnaphoraResolution)
self.textEdit_2.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(310, 110, 271, 341))
self.textEdit_2.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("textEdit_2"))
self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(AnaphoraResolution)
self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(40, 470, 91, 27))
self.pushButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton"))
self.pushButton_2 = QtGui.QPushButton(AnaphoraResolution)
self.pushButton_2.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(170, 470, 171, 27))
self.pushButton_2.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton_2"))
self.pushButton_3 = QtGui.QPushButton(AnaphoraResolution)
self.pushButton_3.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(370, 470, 81, 27))
self.pushButton_3.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton_3"))
self.pushButton_4 = QtGui.QPushButton(AnaphoraResolution)
self.pushButton_4.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(480, 470, 98, 27))
self.pushButton_4.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton_4"))
self.label = QtGui.QLabel(AnaphoraResolution)
self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(180, 30, 241, 20))
self.label.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("label"))
self.retranslateUi(AnaphoraResolution)
self.connectActions()
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(AnaphoraResolution)
def retranslateUi(self, AnaphoraResolution):
AnaphoraResolution.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Dialog", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.pushButton.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Enter", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.pushButton_2.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Pronominal Resolution", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.pushButton_3.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Clear", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.pushButton_4.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Quit", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
self.label.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("AnaphoraResolution", "Anaphora Resolution in Malayalam", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
def connectActions(self):
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.ent)
def ent(self):
%Dont know what code to write
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
AnaphoraResolution = QtGui.QDialog()
ui = Ui_AnaphoraResolution()
ui.setupUi(AnaphoraResolution)
AnaphoraResolution.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
When i click enter (push button) the input in the textEdit is read and save into a file named input.txt. When i click quit (pushbutton) the output in the outfile.txt is read and write into textEdit_2 . How to solve this ?
If all you need is the displayed text in your QTextEdit widget, you can access that by using the toPlainText()
method on the widget you need the text from.
Example:
mytext = self.textEdit.toPlainText()
At this point, you can do whatever you want with mytext
. You can write it to a file, you can manipulated it, etc.
If you need to (re)populate your QTextEdit
with the modified value of mytext
, you can do that by using setPlainText
self.textEdit.setPlainText(mytext)
To write the string to a file, you'll do something like this:
with open('somefile.txt', 'a') as f:
f.write(mytext)
This will append mytext
to somefile.txt
