QTextStream and hex data

I want to read hex data from a QTextStream

Code:

---

#include <QTextStream>
int main(int, char**) {
  QString string("hexvalue 7C00 15");
  QTextStream	in(&string);
  in.setIntegerBase(16);
  QString str1, str2;
  unsigned int val1;
  in >> str1 >> val1 >> str2;
  qDebug("%s %x %s", qPrintable(str1), val1, qPrintable(str2));
  return 0;
}

---

This program outputs

Code:

---

hexvalue 0 C00

---

I thought that setIntegerBase(16) tells the stream to expect hex input when reading integers. The read stops on the character C, whic becomes p[art of a following string.

Can I read a hex value without reading a string and then converting and without a 0x prefix ?
All ideas welcome

Enno

Don't think there is any other way than reading as string and then to number.
