Ascii problem

[eekhoorn12]

Hey

I have a problem with a program i am trying to create. For the program i need to read a file and convert what i read to ascii codes so i can manipulate it. I have suceded into reading the file and converting a part of the data to ascii values but at some characters i get 0 values. The file i test it with is a file i created with a hex editer in which i typed al the hex values from 0 to FF. The problem lies in the extended ascii characters. I have attached my test file i is a simple file with no extension.

Here is the code i use:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
#include "yenc.h"

Yenc::Yenc(QWidget *parent)
: QDialog(parent)
{

QPushButton *connect = new QPushButton("Hello Qt!");
QPushButton *list = new QPushButton("Hello Qt!");
lineEdit = new QLineEdit;
textbox = new QTextEdit("test");

QObject::connect(connect, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(buttonClicked()));
QObject::connect(list, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(textboxClear()));

QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;

layout->addWidget(connect);
layout->addWidget(list);
layout->addWidget(lineEdit);
layout->addWidget(textbox);
setLayout(layout);
setWindowTitle(tr("Test"));
}

int Yenc::buttonClicked()
{
QString readstring;
qint64 asciival;

QFile file(lineEdit->text());
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
return 0;
}

QTextStream out(&file);

while(!out.atEnd())
{
readstring = out.read(1);
asciival = readstring.at(0).toAscii();

if(asciival < 0)
{
asciival = asciival + 256;
}

textbox->append(QString::number(asciival));
}
}

int Yenc::textboxClear()
{
textbox->clear();
}


Hope someone can help me

Thanks
Marcel

The problem lies in the extended ascii characters.
Could you explain WHAT the problem is?

[eekhoorn12]

Well every character has a specific value. The ascii table including the extended ascii ranges from decimal value 0 to decimal value 255, as you can see here http://www.asciitable.com/

I have created a file with al of those values. That file i read with my application and convert every character to it's corresponding decimal value and display it in a textbox. For the first 127 characters everything works but when the extended characters appear they aren't al recognized and converted correctly. Instead of it's corresponding decimal value it returns a zero and that isn't the value i want.

Don't use QString but QByteArray to read your data to avoid conversion to QString.
Use QByteArray::read() (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qiodevice.html#read-2) or QByteArray::readAll() (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qiodevice.html#readAll)

Thanks got it working now.

Oke i have got another question.
What i am trying to create is a yenc encoding. Know that i have solved my previous problem i've got the encoding working but i also need a crc32 check.

I have a working code to generate crc but the result is wrong but i don't know why.
I use the same example file as in my first post and the crc code i get is 9a749b3b but the code i should be getting is 29058C73.

Here is my source:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
#include "yenc.h"

int crc_val;
long crc_anz;
int crc_val2;

Yenc::Yenc(QWidget *parent)
: QDialog(parent)
{

QPushButton *connect = new QPushButton("Hello Qt!");
QPushButton *list = new QPushButton("Hello Qt!");
lineEdit = new QLineEdit;
textbox = new QTextEdit("test");

QObject::connect(connect, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(buttonClicked()));
QObject::connect(list, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(textboxClear()));

QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;

layout->addWidget(connect);
layout->addWidget(list);
layout->addWidget(lineEdit);
layout->addWidget(textbox);
setLayout(layout);
setWindowTitle(tr("Test"));
}

int Yenc::buttonClicked()
{
QByteArray ReadData, ReadHex;
qint64 AsciiVal;
QString bla2;
QString output;
bool ok;
unsigned char c;


QFile file(lineEdit->text());
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
return 0;
}

CrcInit();

while(!file.atEnd())
{
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
{
ReadData = file.read(1);
char *data = ReadData.data();
ReadHex = ReadData.toHex();
AsciiVal = ReadHex.toInt(&ok, 16);
if(ok != true)
{
textbox->append("Conversion failed");
}
else
{
c = *data;
CrcAdd(c);
AsciiVal = ( AsciiVal + 42 ) % 256;
switch (AsciiVal)
{
case 0:
case 9:
case 10:
case 13:
case 61:
case 46:
AsciiVal = AsciiVal + 64 ;
}
output.append(QString::number(AsciiVal));
output.append(" ");
}
//textbox->append(QString::number(asciival));
}
textbox->append(output);
output = "";
}
bla2.sprintf("0x%lx",crc_val ^ 0xFFFFFFFF);
textbox->append(bla2);
return 0;
}

int Yenc::textboxClear()
{
textbox->clear();
return 0;
}
