QByteArray to QString

Question

I m having issues with QByteArray and QString   I m reading a file and stores its information in a QByteArray  The file is in unicode  so it contains something like  t 0 e 0 s 0 t 0  0  0  I m trying to compare this value to my specified value  but it fails  because in the debugger I see it s not an unicode string   The code will explain everything   QByteArray Data    contains unicode string  t 0 e 0 s 0 t 0  0  0  QString myValue    test     value to compare  if Data contains myValue         do some stuff  else       do other stuff    In the debugger  it shows me that the variable Data has the value  t 0 e 0 s 0 t 0  0  0  and myValue has the value  test   How can I fix it

you can use QString  fromAscii    QByteArray data   entity- gt getData    QString s data   QString  fromAscii data data       with data   returning a char   for QT5  you should use fromCString   instead  as fromAscii   is deprecated  see https   bugreports qt-project org browse QTBUG-21872 https   bugreports qt io browse QTBUG-21872

Use QString  fromUtf16  ushort   Data data     as shown in the following code example    include  lt QCoreApplication gt   include  lt QDebug gt   int main int argc  char  argv          QCoreApplication a argc  argv           QByteArray to QString                                   const char c test 10      t     0    e     0    s     0    t     0     0     0        QByteArray qba test QByteArray  fromRawData c test  10        qDebug   nospace   noquote    lt  lt   qba test    lt  lt  qba test  lt  lt          Should see  qba test t      QString qstr test   QString  fromUtf16  ushort   qba test data         qDebug   nospace   noquote    lt  lt   qstr test    lt  lt  qstr test  lt  lt          Should see  qstr test test       return a exec        This is an alternative solution to the one using QTextCodec  The code has been tested using Qt 5 4

You can use this QString constructor for conversion from QByteArray to QString    QString const QByteArray  amp ba   QByteArray data  QString DataAsString   QString data

You can use QTextCodec to convert the bytearray to a string   QString DataAsString   QTextCodec  codecForMib 1015 - gt toUnicode Data      1015 is UTF-16  1014 UTF-16LE  1013 UTF-16BE  106 UTF-8   From your example we can see that the string  test  is encoded as   t 0 e 0 s 0 t 0  0  0  in your encoding  i e  every ascii character is followed by a  0-byte  or resp  every ascii character is encoded as 2 bytes  The only  unicode encoding in which ascii letters are encoded in this way  are UTF-16 or UCS-2  which is a restricted version of UTF-16   so in your case the 1015 mib is needed  assuming your local endianess is the same as the input endianess

You may find QString  fromUtf8   also useful   For QByteArray input of   010  and   000    QString  fromLocal8Bit input  1  returns   010  and     QString  fromUtf8 input  1  correctly returns   010  and   000
