[SOLVED] reading 16 bit integer using QByteArray

[habbas33]

hi... I want to read a file with QByteArray but the problem is that it read byte wise and i want array of 16 bit integer. here is my code...

@
QByteArray fileBuf;
sprintf_s(filepath, "c:/file.bin");}
myfile.setFileName(filepath);
if(!myfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) return;
fileBuf=myfile.readAll();@

here is the test to find values inside

@ qint16 z;
for(int test =0; test < 5 ; test++)
{
z= (fileBuf[i]);
qDebug()<< i<<"is="<<z;@

result:
0 is= -88 (// in binary// 1111 1111 1010 1000)
1 is= -2 (// in binary// 1111 1111 1111 1110)
2 is= -64
3 is= -3
4 is= 52

these are because of 8 bit array i need 16 bit i,e.. at value at 0 = -344 (//binary// 1111 11110 1010 1000)

I suggest to use "QDataStream":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qdatastream.html to read directly from file or reading all file contents and use "QBuffer":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QBuffer.html

thanks for your response it worked now...

QFile myfile;
myfile.setFileName("c:/file.bin");
if(!myfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) return;

QDataStream data(&myfile);
data.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);
QVector<qint16> result;
while(!data.atEnd()) {
qint16 x;
data >> x;
result.append(x);
}
