Sending and Receiving an integer array through TCP connection

[strateng]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this, I am able to write a string and receive the string but I would like it to be an integer array instead. I am using QTcpSocket to create the connection between the client and server.

The following is the coding I am using for sending the string over


client.write("hello", 5);


And the following is the code I am using for receiving the string


char buffer [1024] = {0};
client.read(buffer, client.byteAvailable());


Thanks,
Strateng

Use QDataStream to implement a real protocol. Have a look at the Fortune Client (http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/network-fortuneclient.html) example.

Hey,

Oh okay. I was looking through that but I was also wondering would it be possible to use QTcpSocket and QNetwork to connect to another program using TCP connection that is written in C++ but not with QT sending the integer array? And if so, would you be able to provide an example coding of it?

Thanks,
Strateng

You can access the data like this if both systems have the same endianess.

int* data = reinterpret_cast<int*>(buffer);
