Question

I trying to run “net use \server_ip” and parse result. Platform – Windows

I have the following code:

QProcess *prc = new QProcess(0);
QString exec="net use";
QStringList params;
params << "\\\\" + getServerIP();
prc->start(exec,params);
qDebug() << "exec process";
prc->waitForFinished();
qDebug() << prc->readAll() << prc->exitStatus();;
delete connected;

But readAll() reurns “” and exitStatus() returns 0.

Do you guys have any suggestion?

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to delete all of the above, and call WNetAddConnection¹ instead.

At least if I’m interpreting what you have above correctly, it seems to be a really roundabout version of something like this:

WNetAddConnection(getServerIP(), NULL, NULL);

If GetServerIP returns a QString, you may need to add a call to toAscii (or toLatin1, toLocal8Bit, etc.) to convert it to get something `WNetAddConnection knows how to deal with.

1. Or WNetAddConnection2 or WNetAddConnection3. Microsoft officially recommends the latter, but you don’t seem to need any of the extra capabilities they provide.
