Command working in terminal, but not via QProcess

Question

ifconfig | grep \'inet\'

is working when executed via terminal. But not via QProcess

My sample code is

QProcess p1;
p1.star         


        

Answer 1

The QProcess object does not automatically give you full blown shell syntax: you can not use pipes. Use a shell for this:

p1.start("/bin/sh -c \"ifconfig | grep inet\"");
