The backslashes are there to tell the macro processor to include them all until it finds a line that just ends in a newline.
#define FOO(x) \ // means the definition continues onto the next line
x *= 25; \ printf("X = %d\n");

I would like to go over some old code and replace the use of CString (MFC / ATL) with a multiplatform, C++ 20 equivalent. Can I use std::format and if so, then how?

std::format is not directly compatible with sprintf formatting codes. From what I've seen there are different ways to go about this:
- do sprintf to a temporary buffer and assign buffer to a std::string
- switch to string streams (std::stringstream) and their "<<" operator
- switch to std::format and their "{}" style formatting.
None is automatic and about equally unpleasant.

Yes, the option to remove blank lines doesn't usually exist.

I all I did was answer your question. What the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) did i do wrong?
Quote: I am asking - is this normal in any decent editor NOT to have an option to remove "white space" in between lines of code?

14968771 often answers like that. Similarly gives instructions in his questions as to how you must answer.

Wow.
The quality of the question directly dictates the quality of the answer.

IIRC a few years ago he actually complained about this in Bugs 'n' Sugs.

Yeah, "working as expected".

being answered withYes, the option to remove blank lines doesn't usually exist. is a direct, clear answer to your question, and certainly doesn't justify your reaction:Answering questions is also a skill , especially without unasked / uncalled for preaching and other innuendos and insults. I have no idea why you show this kind of reaction to a simple (and correct) answer to exactly what your were asking for.
Then: To remove blank lines in Notepad++, I first delete all trailing spaces at end of lines (NP++ has a command for that). Then I replace two consecutive newlines with one newline. NP++ can handle both ISO standard, Mac and *nix newlines, and you have to specify the correct format for the search to match, and you have to select 'Search mode: Extended'.
I guess that any editor that can match on newlines of various kinds can be used in a similar way to remove blank lines.

My guess is that Member 14968771 does not realise that what's below the horizontal line is simply Dave's signature. He's reading it as a personalised response to his question, misconstruing it entirely and taking it as a personal dig.

He gives offence freely, and takes it at the drop of a hat.

I am assuming that your QP pointer is a reference to an object of QProcess Class | Qt Core 6.3.2[^]. As stated in the documentation the start method assumes the device mode as ReadWrite, which if it follows the normal rules, suggests you can write to and read from the started process. But writing will only work if the started process is waiting for input on its stdin stream. As far as I can see your started process is a simple shell pipeline to write some data to stdout and a couple of files. So it is not likely to be waiting for input from an external source.

The logical place is a tutorial on QProcess. You can only communicate with an independent process in this way, when the input and output streams are connected. The default option to the start method sets QIODeviceBase::OpenMode mode = ReadWrite. Does that mean that you can write to the process or not? Only a QT expert can advise on the answer.

1. You can concatenate strings. Like this:
#define BT_DATABASE_TEST "../../BT_DATABASE/BluetoothDatabase.txt"
const char *command = "bluetoothctl show | tee " BT_DATABASE_TEXT " | tee /tmp/temp";
2. Maybe something like this:
std::string var = "blah_blah.txt";
std::string command = std::string("bluetoothctl show | tee ") + var + std::string("" | tee /tmp/temp");
QP->start("/bin/sh", QStringList() << "-c" << command.c_str());

I can`t think of a way to store in an array objects of different type but with same base class so I`m going to use a STL container instead:
class somebaseclass
{
}
class derivedclass: private somebaseclass
{
}
class anotherderivedclass: private somebaseclass
{
}
vector<somebaseclass *> * AllObjects;
derivedclass * Derived1 = new derivedclass[1];
anotherderivedclass * Derived2 = new anotherderivedclass[1];
AllObjects->push_back((somebaseclass)Derived1);
AllObjects->push_back((somebaseclass)Derived2);
Is this how it should be done?
