Qt c++ create object from QTextEdit

Hi I'm trying to save entered text from multiple QTextEdit widgets into an object called film of type Film but I don't know how to do it. titleEdit,durationEdit, directorEdit and relDateEdit are all of type QTextEdit. Here is the constructor for Film.

Film::Film(QString t,int dur,QString dir,QDate r):                                                                                                                                       
m_title(t),m_duration(dur),m_director(dir),m_releaseDate(r){
}

And the function that is supposed to take the text entered into the various QTextEdit's and create a film object with the values. Am I on the right track trying to convert the QStrings to plaintext? What do I do with the int? the obtainFilmData function is supposed to save the state of a Film object to a file. 

void FilmInput::saveFilm(){
    Film film(titleEdit->toPlainText()),durationEdit ,directorEdit->copy(),
    relDateEdit->copy());
    obtainFilmData(film);
}

I'm assuming here, that all of your input widgets are QTextEdits. You can convert QString objects to int. You can do something like this to create your film object:

Film film(titleEdit->toPlainText(), durationEdit->toPlainText().toInt(),
directorEdit->toPlainText(),
QDate::fromString(relDateEdit->toPlainText()), "dd/MM/YYYY"));

Read this to find out about the date formats used in the QDate::fromString(const QString & string, const QString & format) function.

You seem to have an extra parenthesis in here

Film film(titleEdit->toPlainText()**)**,durationEdit ,directorEdit->copy(),
relDateEdit->copy());

There shouldn't be a problem with your constructor either.
