Converting a "negative" binary string to a Hex

[Dummie1138]

Hi. I have the following 32 character binary string, as an example.

QString binResult="11000001001101100001010001111011"

Since it's 32 chars long and starts with a "1", my understanding is that if I use the toInt() function, it will be interpreted as a negative value and cannot be converted. Something like this:

unsigned int reee = binResult.toInt(nullptr, 2); 

returns a 0.
I would like to convert this from a binary to a Hex, so I need the value of the QString properly stored. Is there a function that would allow me to circumvent the issue of toInt interpreting this as a -ve value?

A workaround would be to cut the QString to 2 16 char parts, but I am wondering whether there exists a function that would solve my issues.

If you want an unsigned int then use QString::toUInt() instead of QString::toInt().
