Save User Input From LineEdit Box To Variable - digitalmatic7 - Nov-22-2017
I have an input box for user to type their username.
I want that user input saved as a variable.
Here's what I have so far:
self.inputUsername = QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self.centralwidget)
self.inputUsername.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(10, 30, 151, 20))
self.inputUsername.setClearButtonEnabled(True)
self.inputUsername.setObjectName("inputUsername")I'm still not sure if TEXTCHANGED is the right function I want...self.inputUsername.textChanged.connect(self.Username)Then call it:
def Username(self):
username = self.inputUsername.text()I've tried 100 different ways to set the variable, replacing textchanged with textset, 30 different things on stackoverflow. Nothing works 
The fact that this seems to basic and I've spend 8 hours on it is killing me

Edit:
I got this working by playing around in Qt Designer:
self.lineEdit.textChanged['QString'].connect(self.lineEdit_2.setText)
It sets the user entered text from 1 input box to another...
As far as saving from the input box to a string / variable, still no luck.
