What do you mean by, "double pointer"? If something does not work then please show the actual code and the error message(s).

i do not know how to quote a previous answer. Anyway you suggested me to use a pointer to an array of pointers so we did

anagrafica **Arr_ = new anagrafica*[N];

But in this case compiler didn't let me access the method in this way :

Arr_[i].setChiave(3);

For that reason I asked for the correct syntax. Meanwhile I was waiting your reply I decided to try and so I went back to the first version temporarily and this is working, with respect to my first question " why I cannot see all the array elements?".
With this I mean that, also with my first version, if I access Arr_[i] during the debug (within the relevant window "Control expression". I guess this is the correct translation from Italian) I see all the different instances of the class in each element of the array Arr_. I attach here the code of the first version.

With this version running then I get a new malfunction that is that when I call the method for cifrating the true name and surname, from within this method I call the two methods to set the name and the surname, setNome and setCognome but this has no effects. If preferred I will attach the complete solution.

C++

<pre>anagrafica* Arr_ = new anagrafica[N];

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
	Arr_[i] = anagrafica("ciao", "miao", i*25);
}

for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
{
 file>>chiave;
 file>>n;
 file>>c;
 Arr_[i].setChiave(chiave);
 cod(Arr_[i],n,c,chiave);
}
for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
	Arr_[i].stampa();

C++

Arr_[i].setChiave(3);

Sorry, I misread that. Arr_[i] is a pointer so you need to use the correct pointer dereferencing syntax:

C++

Arr_[i]->setChiave(3);

I have commented out all the parts of your code that are not needed to create a simple test. The result is as follows:

C++

// header file
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

 class anagrafica
 {
   private:
   
   string nome_cifrato;  
   string cognome_cifrato;   
   int chiave_cifratura;
   
   public : 
   
   anagrafica(string a, string b, int c); //costruttore
   
  //  void setNome(string );
   
  //  void setCognome(string );
   
  //  string getNome();
   
  //  string getCognome();
   
  //  void codifica(string , string , int );
   
  //  void decodifica();
   
    void setChiave(int);
    void print();
    
  //  int getChiave();
   
  //  void stampa();
   
   
 };

C++

// implementation
#include "Anagrafica.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

// void cod (anagrafica arr,string n, string c,int chiave)

anagrafica::anagrafica(string a, string b, int c) //costruttore
{
   nome_cifrato = a;  
   cognome_cifrato = b;   
   chiave_cifratura = c;
}

void anagrafica::setChiave(int a)
{
	chiave_cifratura = a;
}

// added to show the results
void anagrafica::print()
{
	cout << nome_cifrato << " " << cognome_cifrato << " " << chiave_cifratura << endl;
}

int main()
{
// ifstream file; 
// file.open("input.txt"); 
int N = 4; // create just four entries
//string n,c;

// int chiave;
// int chiave_input;
// file>>N; 
// cout<<N<<endl;

anagrafica** Arr_ = new anagrafica*[N];

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
	Arr_[i] = new anagrafica("ciao", "miao", i*25);
}

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
	Arr_[i]->print();
}

Ok , so the syntax is not

Arr_[i].setChiave(3)

but

Arr_[i]->setChiave(3)

as per Greg Utas and your new indication.
As I wrote I would say that also the version

C++

<pre>anagrafica* Arr_ = new anagrafica[N];

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
	Arr_[i] = anagrafica("ciao", "miao", i*25);
}

is working the same. Then I have the further problem of the two methods for setting cifrated name and surname tha have no effects.

I see that there is some problem of synchronizations with the replies. But ok syntax has been clarified.

You have declared a number of methods in your header file but you have not added their implementation to the .cpp source. In my sample code above you can see the implementation for the setChiave method. You need to do the same for all the other methods declared in the class.

Clarified the syntax problem I resume here.
The code works also in this way ::

C++

anagrafica* Arr_ = new anagrafica[N];

for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
	Arr_[i] = anagrafica("ciao", "miao", i*25);
}

for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
{
 file>>chiave;
 file>>n;
 file>>c;
 Arr_[i].setChiave(chiave);
 cod(Arr_[i],n,c,chiave);
}
for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
	Arr_[i].stampa();

Because I can see all the Arr_ elements containing instances of the class. But two methods recalled from one other method do not heve effects.

That's it.
Highlighted, within method "codifica", the call to the two methods setNome and setCognome that do not work (they do not set any name and surname). The two cout inside "codifica" are only to understand what happens.

The txt file from where to take the data to process is made like this

2 (means how many rows follows)
key1 name1 surname1
key2 name2 surname2

You need to execute that code through the debugger to see exactly what is happening. I tried to reproduce it and it was passing blank parameters in to the method. I suspect that the problem is where you are reading values from the input file.

[edit]
That method is modifying both variables nome_cifrato and cognome_cifrato inline, and you then call setNome and setCognome. But you have already modified the names so you do not need to call the setter methods. I think you need to look more closely at the design of this application and remove some of the redundancies.

I didn't see it, I get confused writing the code, probably I inteded to use local variables to build cifrated name and surname.

But problem was in this function within the main

C++

void cod (anagrafica arr,string n, string c,int chiave)
{

arr.codifica(n,c,chiave); 

}

that i re-arranged this way

C++

void cod (anagrafica &arr,string n, string c,int chiave)
{

arr.codifica(n,c,chiave); 

}

passing the address to "cod". And about this, I understood the reason (Greg Utas was right about the rules but didn't apply to the real problem because i did not need to change the strings passed to the methods but the instance of the class itself). But now there is another behaviour that confuses me :

In a previous version the following method :

C++

void anagrafica::stampa()
{
 cout<<" nome  cifrato "<<nome_cifrato;
 cout<<" cognome  cifrato "<<cognome_cifrato<<endl;
}

I had to modify in this new version :

C++

void anagrafica::stampa()
{
    string nom = nome_cifrato;
    string cog = cognome_cifrato;
 cout<<" nome  cifrato "<<nom;
 cout<<" cognome  cifrato "<<cog<<endl;
}

because in the first version it was just printing nothing. Now it prints correctly. I just tried without a real knowledge behind, only some kind of sensation but I don't understand why it didn't work before and why it works now.

Anyway thanks for all the efforts/suggestions. I am just starting with c++ in order to help my children in their school exercise.

Well, I am sorry to have to say this, but what you have created is not a good example of C++ code for them to follow. The two static methods cod and decod serve no purpose other than to call the actual methods of the anagrafica class. So they are totally redundant; you could call the codifica method direct from main. There are a number of other issues that look incorrect to me but I do not have time to teach you C++.

That was a request (strange to me too. Exercise : implement a function that calls the methods ..., not directly in the main. Could also be that it was some type of cut and paste from other exercises so some error in the exercise definition ). As I said I am starting too so I do what I can and for that reason I am writing here otherwise why should I do this (to ask a forum)? Then I think that everyone is doing something makes mistakes some for distraction (some I did here) and some for poor knowledge (and also here).
But going straight to my last question is there an explanation?

Since this project has more than one class
In the project, it has at least 3 properties ( attributes) and contains functions (methods )
Yeshti applied all the concepts of oop in this project
We build at least 5 classes in the project and in each class we apply complex relationships to it and apply the uml scheme to it
It is necessary that in a project report we explain in the report the characteristics of the project, the functions and the goal of the project ,
We use the comments in the editor, in which we explain the description of the functions and the action of each function with an appropriate expression .
The functions we convert to string, and use the principle of inheritance with the determination of private and public variables . It must be in the builder function and the copier function .
And we use get and set

C++ doesn't have get and set, although you can provide functions with those names. Are you sure this isn't supposed to be C#?

But in the greater scheme of things, it sounds like you're asking for someone to do your assignment, which is something that rarely happens on this site, and certainly not for something of this size.

We are getting your rants, and you are not getting what you want, because you keep asking the same questions and people don't keep track of someone who goes by just a "number".

The bottom line is: This is NOT a "bluetooth" (expert) site, and all your ranting won't change that. If there is one here (an expert), he may not care to contribute under the circumstances; and that's their choice.

You may not realize it, put people do not knowingly volunteer a "wrong" answer. If you don't like the answer, or have heard it before, keep it to yourself. You create a thread; expect different answers; deal with it (and this post).

No, it has nothing to do with C++, it is purely a QT/qterminal issue. And this is the C/C++ forum.

In your code ...

C++

QString exec = "qterminal";

QStringList params = QStringList() << "qterminal" << "-e" << "bluetoothctl" ; // help\n";
processTERMINAL->start(exec, params);

... you are passing "qterminal" as the first parameter to "qterminal". So remove that field from your params.

And that is still not a C++ issue.
