    @JonB Is that .xml created automatically in executable? Because,in exe folder, there are only file formats like .dat and .pak?

    @Vijaykarthikeyan
    What .xml file? There is no mention of any in your code. Nor do I know what .dat or .pak files are doing in your "exe folder".

      @JonB No..just know I've gone through the Qstandard page. For the question about the data format which @jsulm asked, I've replied with the full code. need to respect his time and words. that's why.. And thank you for your suggestion that qrc is read only and directed me to go for QStandardPath.

      It would be good if you would answer the questions. Also, in the code you posted I don't see anything related to writing .bin file, so no idea how that should help us...

        @JonB You have said to look-through Qt Resource System.In that they have mentioned .qrc file which is the .xml format where all the resource files located. That's why I have asked about it.

          The resource file itself is in XML format. But there will be no such file in the build folder. Resource files are built INTO the executable (I already mentioned that in this thread). So, don't know why you expect to see any .xml files in build folder...

            @jsulm That's where I'm getting struck. I don't know how to create it. Then,you have asked what format. I have mentioned that it's a string format

              So, basically a text file?
              Then what exactly is the problem?

                It is hard to understand what your question or issue is. But again a reminder: if you are wanting to write to a log file at runtime you won't be able to use a qrc: for this, so why are we even discussing such a file?

                  @JonB Yes.you are correct. Writing into other directory it works. I wonder Why?

                  @JonB said in How to create .bin file?:

                  they are read-only

                  @Vijaykarthikeyan said in How to create .bin file?:

                  Now, If I want to run my software in any other target system, it is not sure that those systems have same directory which I have coded in my file? What is the solution?

                    @JonB I understand why it can't be? Again thank you for suggesting another problem which is writing a file through QStandarPath.

                      @jsulm I have written into the .txt format and .csv format and I had a doubt about creating .bin format. Then you all cleared my doubt it's worth nothing written into bin file. So, the problem solved and my doubt is cleared now

                        @JonB Thank you.. I followed QStandardPath and tested in different target systems. It is able to create and write into the files independent of directories
