sending int array through socket

[babu198649]

hi

i have an int array which should be send through socket .
the problem is if i store the array in QByteArray(using setNum() and number() it takes one byte for every digit.

but i want to store any integer value in QByteArray as 4 bytes.

ie . each integer byte should be stored as a character in QByteArray

Are you sure QByteArray::number works like that?
If so, then maybe you will consider using my solution from your other post... It does just that - appends 4 bytes to the byte array( for 32 bit architectures, for 64 bit will append 8 bytes).

ya i'm sure .
for ex:

QByteArray arr;
	int i = 24558;
	arr = arr.setNum(i);
	qDebug()<<arr.size();

QByteArray arr;
	int i = 24558;
	arr = arr.setNum(i);
	qDebug()<<arr.size();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the output is 5


ex2:

QByteArray arr;
	int i = 245;
	arr = arr.setNum(i);
	qDebug()<<arr.size();

QByteArray arr;
	int i = 245;
	arr = arr.setNum(i);
	qDebug()<<arr.size();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the output is 3

Yes, that's what QByteArray::setNum() says it does. You might want to take a loot at QDataStream.

hi jpn
actually i wnt an int arrray to send through the socket.

how to output the QDataStream to console
the following does not works

QDataStream stream;
int i=63;
stream <<i;
qDebug()<<stream;

QDataStream stream;
int i=63;
stream <<i;
qDebug()<<stream;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

is it possible to convert a QDataStream to QByteArray.

Open a data stream on the socket, just like many of the network examples do.
