Ascii problem

**eekhoorn12** · 15th October 2007, 22:45

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:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#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();
}

#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();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hope someone can help me

Thanks
Marcel

The problem lies in the extended ascii characters.

Could you explain WHAT the problem is?

**eekhoorn12** · 15th October 2007, 23:41

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() or QByteArray::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:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QApplication>

    layout->addWidget(connect);
