Parsing received serial

[Aeroplane123]

I want to parse some received serial data, the data is a reply from an external device.

 uint8_t reply[32];
 char* getReply = (char *) reply;
		
 serial->read(getReply, 17);
 QByteArray ba(getReply, 17);
 qDebug() << "Received: " << ba;

 serialBuffer += ba;
 qDebug() << "Serial Data: " << serialBuffer;

The first reply is read as...
"Serial Data: \u001B\u0001 "

The second reply is...
"Serial Data: \u001B\u00018888?"

The 8888 is the data that i am interested in, what is the best way to parse this?

Maybe you mean you want to look at what comes after the first 2 bytes?

@JonB yes, exactly!

Then do so! QByteArray::mid(2).
