    Default pass QByteArray as a pointer

    Hi,
    How can I pass QByteArray as a pointer.
    My function:
    void removeStars(QByteArray *array){
    //something
    }
    And I am doing this:

    QByteArray array;
    ...
    removeStars(&array);

    I got this error:
    QByteArray:perator QNoImplicitBoolCast() const’ is private

    I tried as it would be char * but it didn’t work too. I mean I used this array like a pointer when I passed it.

    Why do you want to pass a byte array as pointer?

    By the way, the error you are getting is not related to the code you posted.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    I would like to change 39 QByteArrays one by one.
    I would like to remove some characters from them.
    How can I do it anyway?

    You were right. The problem is not with argument passing.
    I would like to remove ‘*’ from array.
    This is the algorithm:

    void StationsHandler::removeStars(QByteArray *encodedString){

    int size = encodedString->size();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++ ){
    if (*(encodedString) == '*'){
    for (QByteArray *temp = encodedString; j < size; j++){
    *(temp) = *(temp+1);
    temp++;
    }
    size--;
    }
    encodedString++;
    }

    *(encodedString+1) = '\0';
    }

    Thank you I have found the problem. You were write the problem was out of this part of code.

    I think you should read about QByteArray::replace() (many variants) and QByteArray::remove() and save yourself a bunch of effort and a whole lot of potential errors.

    Qt Code:
    1. QByteArray toStrip("This contains an * asterisk, maybe more * than one");
    2. qDebug() << toStrip.replace("*", "");
    3. // Output: "This contains an asterisk, maybe more than one"
