Please post your code...
Client side Code:
m_client1 = new QTcpSocket(this); m_client1->connectToHost("192.168.18.5", 10001); qDebug()<<"Connected.

If you send an integer as an integer (and not a string) this is not going to work.
For proper conversion to int use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qbytearray.html#toInt and then convert the int to a string using https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#number-1 -
@jsulm I implemented the following code in which getting value in str is "\u027"
but in dec value is not updating and in lcdNumber value is displaying 0.QString str=m_client1->readAll();
bool ok;
int dec = str.toInt(&ok, 10);
QString s = QString::number(dec,16);
qDebug()<<"user:"<<s;
ui->lcdNumber->display(s); -

This is wrong as I already wrote.
bool ok; int i = m_client1->readAll().toInt(&ok, 10); qString numberStr = QString::number(i); -
I am sending string value from sever to the client which is ok, but I need to write from server to client an integer value which will be displayed on QlcdNumber on client-side. Which is displaying 0 there.
@Mijaz said in Server-client receiving and sending problem using QtcpSocket for console application:

So, does your server send an int? What does ok contain after toInt()? Did you check what readAll() returns? Also, did you check how many bytes readAll() returns?

@jsulm from server-side I am not able to send the data in integer I am sending it therefrom QByteArray data; which is socket->write(data); and receiving it on client-side as "\u027" which is not displayed on QlcdNumber. I need the solution for this how I can display it on QlcdNumber.

@Mijaz This is your code for sending int, right?
data[0] = (uchar) (0x000000ff & current_temp); data[1] = (uchar) ((0x0000ff00 & current_temp) >> 8); data[2] = (uchar) ((0x00ff0000 & current_temp) >> 16); data[3] = (uchar) ((0xff000000 & current_temp) >> 24);Don't you think you need to do same on the receiver side?
But actually it would be way easier to use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdatastream.html on both sides. -
@jsulm I did QFile code on both side but I am getting an error QIODevice::read (QFile, "file.dat"): device not open on the receiver side. I am thinking on QTcpSocket how your QFile will work?
@Mijaz said in Server-client receiving and sending problem using QtcpSocket for console application:

Which QFile?!
I never suggested to use any QFile!
QDataStream also works with QByteArray as you can easily see from its documentation... -

You are going in wrong direction!
Think simple!Qt has many helper classes.
If I right understand your use case:- you have an external application which send an integer value per TCP.
- first you said value is send as string, which means for me a text. Decimal value 1 is send as string "1".
- then you said value is send as "raw data", which mean for me a binary. Decimal value 1 is send as 4 bytes ("\x00\x00\x00\x01" or "\x01\x00\x00\x00" depending on endiannes).
To read as text value and convert it back to decimal:
QString str=m_client1->readAll(); bool ok; int value = str.toInt(&ok); if(!ok) qDebug() << "Could not read integer value"; else qDebug() << "Recieved" << value;To read as binary value and convert it back to decimal:
QByterArray b=m_client1->readAll(); QDataStream stream(b); // to change byte order (endianess) // stream.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian); int value; stream >> value; if(stream.status() != QDataStream::Ok) qDebug() << "Could not read integer value"; else qDebug() << "Recieved" << value; -
@KroMignon Thanks for your excellent approach my value on QlcdNumber displayed successfully but not showing me the actual value current_temp from server-side it is displaying 385875968 instead of 23.
@Mijaz
How should anyone answer this? What is the server actually sending? Where in the stream does it appear? How are you reading it (you might check byte-by-byte initially that you get the right bytes)? How do you convert it to a number (e.g. is your bad number an endian-ness issue)? -

@Mijaz If you use QDataStream on receiver side you also have to use it on the sender side!
