    I have used toHex to convert a QByteArray to a string for transmission in a string, at the other end I now need to do the reverse, is there a function to convert fromHex to a QByteArray?

    Looking at: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qbytearray.html#fromHex

    It looks like the documentation is wrong, because the only prototype I can see is:
    QByteArray QByteArray::fromHex(const QByteArray &hexEncoded)

    Yet the example passes a string literal. I've tried:

    QString strChunk(citChunk.value().toString());
    QByteArray baChunk(QByteArray::fromHex(strChunk));
    

    Compile error is:

    C2664: 'QByteArray QByteArray::fromHex(const QByteArray &)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'QString' to 'const QByteArray &'
    

    Kind Regards,
    Sy

      @SPlatten QByteArray baChunk(QByteArray::fromHex(strChunk.toUtf8())); ?

      For more information please re-read.

      Kind Regards,
