Dialog creation reading and writing files
Introduction
This is an example of dialog creation with PySide.
In this example, the entire interface is defined in Python. Although this is possible for small interfaces, for larger interfaces the recommendation is to create .ui files through Qt Designer, and load these in the program.
Dialog for writing to a file
Complete code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import PySide
from PySide import QtGui ,QtCore
from PySide.QtGui import *
from PySide.QtCore import *
path = FreeCAD.ConfigGet("UserAppData")
try:
SaveName = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(None,QString.fromLocal8Bit("Save a file txt"),path, "*.txt") # PyQt4
# "here the text displayed on windows" "here the filter (extension)"
except Exception:
SaveName, Filter = PySide.QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(None, "Save a file txt", path, "*.txt") # PySide
# "here the text displayed on windows" "here the filter (extension)"
if SaveName == "": # if the name file are not selected then Abord process
App.Console.PrintMessage("Process aborted"+"\n")
else: # if the name file are selected or created then
App.Console.PrintMessage("Registration of "+SaveName+"\n") # text displayed to Report view (Menu > View > Report view checked)
try: # detect error ...
file = open(SaveName, 'w') # open the file selected to write (w)
try: # if error detected to write ...
# here your code
print("here your code")
file.write(str(1)+"\n") # write the number convert in text with (str())
file.write("FreeCAD the best") # write the the text with (" ")
except Exception: # if error detected to write
App.Console.PrintError("Error write file "+"\n") # detect error ... display the text in red (PrintError)
finally: # if error detected to write ... or not the file is closed
file.close() # if error detected to write ... or not the file is closed
except Exception:
App.Console.PrintError("Error Open file "+SaveName+"\n") # detect error ... display the text in red (PrintError)
Dialog to read a file
Complete code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import PySide
from PySide import QtGui ,QtCore
from PySide.QtGui import *
from PySide.QtCore import *
path = FreeCAD.ConfigGet("UserAppData")
OpenName = ""
try:
OpenName = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None,QString.fromLocal8Bit("Read a file txt"),path, "*.txt") # PyQt4
# "here the text displayed on windows" "here the filter (extension)"
except Exception:
OpenName, Filter = PySide.QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, "Read a file txt", path, "*.txt") #PySide
# "here the text displayed on windows" "here the filter (extension)"
if OpenName == "": # if the name file are not selected then Abord process
App.Console.PrintMessage("Process aborted"+"\n")
else:
App.Console.PrintMessage("Read "+OpenName+"\n") # text displayed to Report view (Menu > View > Report view checked)
try: # detect error to read file
file = open(OpenName, "r") # open the file selected to read (r) # (rb is binary)
try: # detect error ...
# here your code
print("here your code")
op = OpenName.split("/") # decode the path
op2 = op[-1].split(".") # decode the file name
nomF = op2[0] # the file name are isolated
App.Console.PrintMessage(str(nomF)+"\n") # the file name are displayed
for ligne in file: # read the file
X = ligne.rstrip('\n\r') #.split() # decode the line
print(X) # print the line in report view other method
# (Menu > Edit > preferences... > Output window > Redirect internal Python output (and errors) to report view checked)
except Exception: # if error detected to read
App.Console.PrintError("Error read file "+"\n") # detect error ... display the text in red (PrintError)
finally: # if error detected to read ... or not error the file is closed
file.close() # if error detected to read ... or not error the file is closed
except Exception: # if one error detected to read file
App.Console.PrintError("Error in Open the file "+OpenName+"\n") # if one error detected ... display the text in red (PrintError)
