Hello!  
I’ve started learning QtRuby few days ago so I’ve got newbie question  
(not answered by google, though):  
There is Qt::TableWidget which I want to use to get data from user.  
The question is: how to get all data from from table in array?

app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)

tableWidget = Qt::TableWidget.new(0, 2)  
tableWidget.horizontalHeaderLabels = [“Label1”, “Label2”]  
tableWidget.horizontalHeader().setResizeMode(0,  
Qt::HeaderView::Stretch)  
tableWidget.verticalHeader().hide()  
tableWidget.showGrid = false

row = tableWidget.rowCount  
tableWidget.insertRow(row)  
tableWidget.setItem(row, 0, Qt::TableWidgetItem.new(“data1”))  
tableWidget.setItem(row, 1, Qt::TableWidgetItem.new(“data2”))

row = tableWidget.rowCount  
tableWidget.insertRow(row)  
tableWidget.setItem(row, 0, Qt::TableWidgetItem.new(“data3”))  
tableWidget.setItem(row, 1, Qt::TableWidgetItem.new(“data4”))

list = []  
for row in 0…tableWidget.rowCount do  
for col in 0…tableWidget.columnCount do  
tableWidget.setCurrentCell(row, col)  
list \<\< tableWidget.currentItem.text  
end  
end

p list

tableWidget.show  
app.exec

Will print:

[“data1”, “data2”, “data3”, “data4”]
