reading bytes out of a file

[priceey]

Hello there

I am trying to parse a file by reading the bytes from it (ideally hex).

But I have a snag...

any bytes over the value of 127 give me problems (i.e. -128 etc).

How can i read the bytes out of the array.

for example. i have 2 qbytearrays here:

count = 6;
arrayParse = array.mid(b,2);

count = 6;
arrayParse = array.mid(b,2);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(the data contained within these two bytes is b00d)

if i try to read the first byte, i get a negative number.

how can i read it so i get the correct value?

or if that fails, how can i just read the file as hex??

(sorry if this is a chumps question!)

and in case you need more info, i have opened the file using file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
