    @ManiRon It's not hard to fix:

    const qint64 actualRead = file.read(fileData.data(),size_of_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
        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?

        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 "

            What is the output of

            qDebug() << actualRead << size_of_file;
            

            ?

              size_of_file

              Size = 194 .

              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

                What is the value of actualRead?

                    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?

                                    So read up how qDebug() displays a QByteArray (as well as a QString)!!
                                    Something even as old as https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/54236-qDebug-donsn-t-display-0x00?p=243053#post243053 will presumably do you.....

                                        Is there any way that i can store the full data along with the NUL

                                        It is stored, just qDebug() stops it's output when it sees NUL. Take a look at the link @JonB provided above.

                                          @Christian-Ehrlicher sir i checked the data are read from the file fully but the problem is the way i store . I tried to store it in a QByteArray variable, a char array Variable, a QString Variable but all are terminating when the data has a NUL Inbetween, Now its not the problem of qDebug .
