[solved ] binary data to QTcpSocket
-
Then, why not simply use QFile's "readAll()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qiodevice.html#readAll ? It returns you a QByteArray with the data from the file
-
Don't convert to ASCII. A char* is going to give you trouble the first time it encounters 0x00 (NULL) which will be interpreted as the end of the string. (JPEGs will certainly have a number of NULL characters in them -- I bet the first one you're encountering is at position 5 in your data.) A QByteArray will be sufficient to hold your data. You shouldn't be using a QTextStream at all, also. As SGaist said, QFile::readAll() should get you what you want. However, if you were insistent on using a stream, you'd need to use a QDataStream instead.
How, exactly, are you checking your data?
-
Well of course it does. You need to realise that a JPEG file's content is not text and therefore any attempt to treat it is as such (e.g. with QTextStream or QTextEdit, notice the word Text) is doomed to fail. A JPEG binary file will typically have a zero in its fifth byte so you will generally get only four potential characters (byte FF D8 FF E0 in hex) before the string is considered ended. If byte 5 is not zero then the 11th byte will always be zero and you may see a recognisable "JFIF" in the text.
Why don't you take a step back and explain the result you are expecting to achieve.
-
As ChrisW67 said, JPEG is NOT a text file so QTextEdit won't be able to support it. If you want to show it as text, at least convert it using QByteArray::toHex(). But I don't think we are on the right track then.

@ QFile file("d:/a.jpg");
file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);this->sock = new QTcpSocket;
connect(this->sock,SIGNAL(bytesWritten(qint64)),this,SLOT(q(qint64))); connect(sock,SIGNAL(connected()),this,SLOT(con())); connect(sock,SIGNAL(disconnected()),this,SLOT(dis())); this->sock->connectToHost("192.168.1.2",8080); this->sock->waitForConnected(); sock->write(file.readAll().data()); sock->waitForBytesWritten(-1); sock->close();file.close();

This is my code i need to send the image via network using QTcpSocket but the method QTcpSocket::write() will only support char * or bytearray but even if i convert the above image from QString to QByteArry and pass to QTcpSocket and send it is only showing 4 characters in the both cases QByteArray and char *.Edit: again, use @ tags around code sections please; Andre
-
Don't convert anything, just send the byte array created by readAll().
Besides, write(file.readAll().data()) is a bad idea. data() will return a pointer to the data from a temporary QByteArray created by file.readAll(). You don't really know when that byte array will be destroyed.
If you want to show the image on the other end, use a "QImage":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qimage.html + "QLabel":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qlabel.html combo
And please enclose your code with code tags so that it's cleaner to read.

It should work... The fact that you are using QTextEdit is NOT correct. QTextEdit only support "Texts".
