    its a single line data i have taken sreenshot like this . After the data 61 the next starts as d2.

    As per the above image the file read reads till A.,?E>t1?dWQA.,DE_??n1?d7be1526df618c0c4d1bab3959adb65ada9f20bd969493e532a7861d29bc6e698

    in that image b5afa24a9fa264a178f5ae63c7eff6cf this is my checksum after that a Nul character is there after which my actual data starts

      OK, in that case it sounds right if it is followed by a "Nul". Personally I would put a comment into your code then to explain that is why you are seeking to byte #33.

      I don't see anything which would stop at a NUL in your code. What makes you think it is doing so? Are you just relying on the output of qDebug("FILEDATA %s",fileData.data()); and thinking that shows it has not read past a NUL, that may be an artefact of how qDebug() displays the data? Try debugging out the length of the data?

        @JonB Actually my requirement is to calculate checksum for the data and store it in the same file where the data i am writing to . So i planned to write the checksum at the begining and followed by the data.

        Now when i start the application i will validate the file by reading the checksum stored in file and compare it with the remaining data in file by calculating checksum for them .

        Note the stored checksum is calculated using the data and not the whole file

          could you replace fileData = file.read(size_of_file); with :

          fileData.resize(size_of_file);
          const auto actualRead = file.read(fileData.data(),size_of_file);
          Q_ASSERT(actualRead==size_of_file);

              @ManiRon It's not hard to fix:

              const qint64 actualRead = file.read(fileData.data(),size_of_file);

                    No sir i checked the read by removing the NUL from the data in the file and i was able to see that it read the whole data and qDebug() was displaying the full data

                    This is the whole data when i removed the NUL : " WQA.,?E>t1?dWQA.,DE_??n1?d7be1526df618c0c4d1bab3959adb65ada9f20bd969493e532a7861d29bc6e698{TB.)?V1??n1?dS[H21?z7_??n1?d340819615bcd7cb87459cac37070456eb0af53716c1f0064c4771857728d3777 "

                      But when the data conatins NUL the data will be " WQA.,?E>t1?dWQA.,DE_??n1?d7be1526df618c0c4d1bab3959adb65ada9f20bd969493e532a7861d29bc6e698 "

                          I thought it was qdebug problem so i wrote the data read from the file to another file then also it remains the same as the data shown in the debug

                                That means the read doesn't actually stop with the null

                                      "What can we do" about what? You've spent the whole time claiming the read stops at the NUL, now you confirm it does not, so what's the problem?
