You can use QFile, QTextStream::readLine and QString to find an occurrence of a pattern. Use lexical analyser for more complicated tasks.

i've experiencing some adversities using Qtextstream as i'm looking to read a file line by line, witch i can do as expected, but i can't just go to a specific line or reverse the reading order.

You still can use seek even with QTextStream

QTextStream::seek (Seeks to the position pos in the device)
