Why qDebug and plaintext gives different outputs?

[fatihsezgin]

Hello I'm kinda new in Qt and I'm working on gps data. My purpose is process the data that comes from gps.

connect(serial,&QSerialPort::readyRead,this,&MainWindow::serialReceived);

In sıgnal received slot, I'm printing the data in QPlainTextEdit gives me correct format of data.

void MainWindow::serialReceived()
{

    QByteArray byteArray;
    byteArray = serial->readAll();
    QString ba(byteArray);

    plainText->insertPlainText(ba);

    QTextCursor c = plainText->textCursor();
    c.movePosition(QTextCursor::End);
    plainText->setTextCursor(c);
}

But when I print with qDebug() it outputs:

"$GPGGA,102648.000,4059.7329,N,02"
"843.3850,E,2,7,1.67,82.3,M,39.5,"
"M,0000,000063\r\n$GPRMC,102648.00"
"0,A,4059.7329,N,02843.3850,E,0.0"
"3,290.70,050600,,,D6A\r\n"
"$GPGGA,102649.000,4059.7329,N,02"
"843.3850,E,2,7,1.67,82.3,M,39.5,"
"M,0000,000062\r\n$GPRMC,102649.00"
"0,A,4059.7329,N,02843.3850,E,0.0"
"5,290.70,050600,,,D6D\r\n"

I need to get the data in the form of QPlainTextEdit shows so I can parse the data.
How can I achieve this ? Thanks.

Hi @fatihsezgin,

readAll() does not care about line endings, so you get all data that has arrived at this point.

You can try to use canReadLine() and readLine() (in a loop, as long as canReadLine() returns true), that should give you the lines you want.
