TextPreview
This is an example of Qt Gui Application to read a specified number of lines or all lines from a text file, whose character set is automatically detected and displayed.
The program was developed with Qt Creator 2.7.1, and ran successfully with Qt 4.8.4 on Ubuntu 13.04, linking to a universal character detection library libuchardet available in package as libuchardet-dev. Lines for debugging are intentionally left so as to be helpful in checking the program.

Gui design (widget.ui)
Picture of Gui Design in Qt Creator for widget.ui
Example
Ran the program.
Picture of a widget window when the TextPreview program is launched.
Changed the number of lines to 2, and hit the Preview button. Chose a text file in a dialog box.
Picture of the widget window after pushing the preview button and choosing a text file.
The file's path and character set are shown, and the first 2 lines, as specified, are shown in the plain text box.
