Ascii control characters

[aamer4yu]

What format is your input ?
and also what data type is compressed_string2 ? c_str() doesnt seem to be Qt function

My input is in a standard string format:

std::string compressed_string2;

std::string compressed_string2;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

c_str converts a regular string to a QString.

Hi,

Hi,

QString::QString ( const QByteArray & ba )

Constructs a string initialized with the byte array ba. The given byte array is converted to Unicode using fromAscii(). Stops copying at the first 0 character, otherwise copies the entire byte array.


So

QString res = string.toAscii().toHex();

QString res = string.toAscii().toHex();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

stops at first '0' character

thanks for the input.

That makes sense.

but if that is the case, then if I add

#define QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII

should add the complete line to the string?

is that true?

it gives the same result if I try it.

Hi,

I think that you have to add "48" to each char to obtain the desired character. Take a look at ASCII table where you can see that character "0" is 48 decimal. So this is basically a LUT.
Try it and tell if it helps you.

thanks for all of your help

here is how I fixed it:

QString compressedString1 = QString::fromStdString(compressed_string1);
QString compressedString1Q = compressedString1.toAscii().toHex();

QString compressedString1 = QString::fromStdString(compressed_string1);
QString compressedString1Q = compressedString1.toAscii().toHex();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this seemed to fix the issue.
